hi. maybe a little off topic, but i would like to setup cron to go out and
get the newest mozilla tarballs and install....
so here is the script i wrote.
#!bin/bash
cd /usr/local
rm -rf /usr/local/package
wget
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -zxvf /usr/local/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
rm mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
chown -R erd /usr/local/package
chgrp -R erd /usr/local/package
the script works great if i just type sh /usr/bin/getmoz.
here is the cron job
/etc/crontab
05 11 * * * root sh /usr/bin/getmoz
when cron runs this, i can see that it is downloading the tarball...but
thats about all it does. it doesnt seem to untar it in the /usr/local
directory like i tell it to. (like it does by just typing sh /usr/bin/getmoz
can anyone find anything wrong with this process (this is my very first
script/cronjob!).
thanks
