Edit crontab in jail

[sretalla]

I note the shell difference in the provided examples from the OP and fracai:

#!/bin/sh

SHELL=/bin/bash

#!/bin/bash

AFAIK, bash is not available in a FreeNAS jail, so you need to use sh (as fracai suggests) or another available shell for a script to work.

*/1 * * * * bash -I -c "/root/sync.sh >/tmp/stdout_2.txt 2>/tmp/stderr_2.txt"

that is what I have in crontab -e

Without the bash -c it won't run, and I get the same mirror error with -I or without.

I also note the OP is using bash too...

Tried also changing everything to /bin/sh nothing works.

This is the log from Cron

So cron (/var/log/test.txt?) shows the script being run every minute. I'm presuming the other file (/var/log/test.txt) shows nothing?

 

[fracai]

Try just the following command in the crontab: env > /var/log/env.txt
Also, did the previous attempt include a newline at the end? I recently saw the lack of that as a reason for a cron job not running.

Hi thank you again for your support.
Unfortunately I did try all the tests you've suggested but nothing happen, no file is generated or filled.
The only result I have is the defaut cron log that I've showed you on the previous post.
This what I have inside crontab


root@rclone:/var/log # crontab -l
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/share:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
* * * * * env > /var/log/env.txt
* * * * * sh -x /usr/share/RcloneBzSync.sh
0 0 * * * root /usr/local/sbin/anacron




If you like I can give access through teamviewer I really don't know how to fix this.

 

[fracai]

I'd be willing to try teamviewer or skype. I'll send a message to see if we can set something up.
