为什么我的卷曲Cron工作无法运行？

Question

I am trying to figure out why my curl cron job is not executing correctly. When I run it in the browser it runs just fine however if I run it in command line I get the following output. I have replaced the actual URL however the url is something like example.com/file.php?pass=password&t=d

root@low [/home/user]# sudo -u user curl URL
[1] 13959 root@low
[/home/user]# Starting backups for accounts!

The output in the browser runs for all 9, 10, or however many backups I have. Am I just missing a flag in my curl request?

Answer 1

You are using the & sign in the command line, so the parameter t gets lost and your script does not get all its input data (and it's probably the same with your cron job, since it's executed shell-wise).

try:

curl 'url'

Checkout http://linuxcommand.org/lts0080.php , search for "Putting a program in the background" for more info on & in the shell.

Answer 2

I believe curl is typically located in /usr/bin/curl . Perhaps you need to run it as absolute path in your cronjob (in case /usr/bin is not contained in your default path). This would typically be the case if it works from commandline but not from cron (as exact same command).
