[Dxspider-support] Network Update

Yes, yes I have.  I’ve been trying that today as it would be the perfect solution.

One of the commands I’m running through the system crontab is to stop a service.  I tried the same thing through the spider crontab.

I did some testing and this didn’t stop the service.   

50 00 * * * spawn("sudo service xxx stop")

I tried using sudo systemctl stop xxx as well, no joy.  It shows in the debug log but the service doesn’t stop.

1675025460^(cron) cron: 51 20 29 1 0 -> doing 'spawn("sudo systemctl stop xxx")'
1675025460^(cron) DXCron::spawn: sudo systemctl stop xxx
1675025460^(progress) subprocess stats cmd: 'sudo systemctl stop xxx' by DXCron::spawn 82mS

I’ve also tested using ‘ instead of “ because I have some spawn commands in my spider crontab with ‘ and some with “, neither work to stop the service.

Also tried this in case it needed the path.

02 21 * * * spawn('sudo /usr/bin/systemctl stop xxx')

That also didn’t stop the service.

1675026120^(cron) cron: 2 21 29 1 0 -> doing 'spawn('sudo /usr/bin/systemctl stop xxx')'
1675026120^(cron) DXCron::spawn: sudo /usr/bin/systemctl stop xxx
1675026120^(progress) subprocess stats cmd: 'sudo /usr/bin/systemctl stop xxx' by DXCron::spawn 90mS
