在Docker容器中的cron中执行服务时出现问题？

Question

I have some cronjobs that I always used and worked fine. But now, trying to move everything to Docker containers, I'm running into these errors:

/usr/bin/service: 127: /usr/bin/service: stop: not found
/usr/bin/service: 128: exec: start: not found

They occur when executing things like "service restart nginx" these cronjobs. Note that the same commands work fine outside the cronjobs.

The PATH is correctly set in /etc/crontab . Adding it to the individual cronfiles in /etc/cron.d doesn't work either. I also tried changing SHELL=/bin/sh to SHELL=/bin/bash (even though it's insecure, but wanted to try) in /etc/crontab , didn't work.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I solved it changing the command from

"service start mysql"

to

"/sbin/start mysql &"

Good luck

I am not sure, but I think that the problem is in paths. I believe you want to run /usr/sbin/service and not /usr/bin/service . You may try to specify full path for service instead of just service .
