I need help ... I've been looking at this every evening for over a week now. I'd like to see my kids again!
I have script that runs fine in the terminal but when I try to run it in a crontab for either myself or root, it bails out. The trouble is that obviously I get no console when using crontab so can't see any traceback. I use logging which shows 'info' messages as the script is working, but no error messages. I've peppered it with debug messages to try to track it down to a line, but it stops it the middle of appending data to a list. I'd expect it to bail out when calling a module or reading/writing to a different file. Is there any way of getting more info from the app, like popping up a console while its running? my crontab is: 30 15 * * * cd /home/myusername/src && python myscript.py ALJ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
