I use systemd timers for various things and after decommissioning a very old machine that used busybox, I recycled a cron script.
I could run the script from the cli, but it never ran via the timer. Timer was fine, no errors were ever logged anywhere. The expected output just didn't occur. Yesterday, I was looking through all my scripts adding comments to help me in the future. When I opened the script that never runs, I found the problem. #!/bin/sh does not equal #!/bin/bash At least when calling a script via the service file fired by a systemd timer Changed from sh to bash and voila! Change back to sh, fails silently again. I'm sure >90% of the folks here knew this, but for those like me I figured I'd post. How's this related to WeeWX? I use a systemd timer to backup the database. That one works a treat as I used bash, not sh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
