Im trying to load a script via crontab
The cronttab entry is
*/2 * * * * QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' && export QUIERY_STRING && cd
/path/to/script && ./script.pl
Some varations ive tried are
1. Putting the command in a sh file and running that
2. */2 * * * * QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' ; export QUIERY_STRING ;cd
/path/to/script ; ./script.pl
3. */2 * * * * QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' ; export QUIERY_STRING ;cd
/path/to/script ; perl script.pl
4. */2 * * * * QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' ; export QUIERY_STRING ;
perl /path/to/script.pl
5. */2 * * * * QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' ; export QUIERY_STRING ;
/path/to/script.pl
6. Writing a Perl script that issue
system('QUERY_STRING='Blah:Blah' ; export QUIERY_STRING ;cd
/path/to/script ; ./script.pl')
None of these work but all of these if put into sh or bash run fine.
What I get back via a cronemail is variable
But one thing is constant it always in one way or another say file not
found
Either sh cant find it or perl cant or bin/sh couldn't find it.
Anyhelp here would be awesome
And 0755 is the permissions and owner ship of the file it to the user
running the cron.
