Any suggestions on getting external cron to work on Ubuntu 10.04? This is
what I currently have but the jobs don't seem to run.
$ crontab -e
0-59/1 * * * * cd /var/web2py && python web2py.py -C -D 1 >>
/tmp/cron.output 2>&1
$ tail applications/init/cron/crontab
*/1 * * * * root *cron/release_pending_orders
Should that work? I've seen suggestions to disable cron when it runs off the
regular web server with "-N" or "cron=False" or with "options.py" so as not
to conflict with the cron jobs.
I've also seen the suggestion to just put the cron logic in a controller and
"wget" it which seems silly but workable.
My cron.output loads up with these warnings or errors:
