[Dxspider-support] New build, things not working from within crontab

[Joaquin]

Keith,

Try doing this:

su - sysop -c "cd /home/sysop"
su - sysop -c "chown -R sysop.spider spider"
su - sysop -c "find ./ -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;"
su - sysop -c "find ./ -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;"

I don't have '&&' I use ';'. Look at my crontab:


# AutoUpdate USDB
0 1 * * 1,3,5 spawn("cd /tmp; wget -qN ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz; 
/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl usdbraw.gz")
5 1 * * 1,3,5 run_cmd("load/usdb")
10 1 * * 1,3,5 spawn("rm /tmp/usdbraw.gz")

# AutoUpdate CTY.DAT
0 3 * * 0,2,5 spawn("cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN 
http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat")
0 3 * * 0,2,5 spawn("cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN 
http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw")
2 3 * * 0,2,5 spawn("/spider/perl/create_prefix.pl")
3 3 * * 0,2,5 run_cmd("load/prefix")

# AutoUpdate Keps
0 2 * * 2,4,6 spawn("cd /tmp; wget -qN 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt; 
/spider/perl/convkeps.pl -p nasabare.txt")
5 2 * * 2,4,6 run_cmd("load/keps")
10 2 * * 2,4,6 spawn("rm /tmp/nasabare.txt")
