Hi folks On my webserver I've recently added a log-sorting and presentation program by the name of Webalizer. To make it run, I've put this line in the crontab (everything runs as a normal user):
* 04 * * * /home/titanus/scripts/web-log >> /dev/null 2>&1 The line runs every morning at 4, and AFAIK, the /dev/-part should redirect all but errors to null. The script is really simple: #!/bin/sh webalizer=/usr/bin/webalizer yesterday_date=$(date -d yesterday +%Y.%m.%d) # For debugging # echo "$webalizer" # echo "$yesterday_date" if test -e /var/log/apache2/access.$yesterday_date; then $webalizer /var/log/apache2/access.$yesterday_date else echo "Yesterdays log not found. Exiting" exit 12 fi exit 0 Now, my question is these lines in syslog: titanus@aptget:~$ sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep titanus Jun 11 04:00:01 aptget /USR/SBIN/CRON[1567]: (titanus) CMD (/home/titanus/scripts/web-log >> /dev/null 2>&1) Jun 11 04:01:01 aptget /USR/SBIN/CRON[1572]: (titanus) CMD (/home/titanus/scripts/web-log >> /dev/null 2>&1) (One line per minut for an entire hour) Jun 11 04:59:01 aptget /USR/SBIN/CRON[1879]: (titanus) CMD (/home/titanus/scripts/web-log >> /dev/null 2>&1) What do they mean? As far as I can see, the result of Webalizer is made at 4, not 4:59, so I suspect the srcipt only runs at 4. The system is a standard Squeeze with nothing funny or unstable.
