厨师Cron作业未运行

Question

I have a Chef cron job that will not run for the life of me, I think the cron job format is correct since I used language-chef in atom to create it and it matches examples on the docs. I have played around with the timing and nothing works. I have ran the command in the cron job by itself and it runs just fine so my command is correct.

Cron job

cron 'upl_base_backup.sh_cron' do
  minute '0'
  hour '1'
  weekday '6'
  command '/work-disk/postgresql-scripts/upl_base_backup.sh'
end

Output of crontab -u root -l

# Chef Name: upl_base_backup.sh_cron
0 1 * * 6 /work-disk/postgresql-scripts/upl_base_backup.sh

Any ideas on why it might not be running?

Answer 1

First set the script to be executable.

chmod +x /work-disk/postgresql-scripts/upl_base_backup.sh

Second add the full path to the sh executable which should be /bin/sh . But you can find that yourself, using whereis sh .

The cron entry might look like this:

0 1 * * 6 /bin/sh /work-disk/postgresql-scripts/upl_base_backup.sh
