i schedule my downloads with cron, but from past few, it isn't working(no downloads). and i need to help to first find the the problem & then fixing it.
my crontab looks like
Root's crontab
mail from from cron
^^^
i think its done successfully
the contents of dl-list.txt file
the surprizeing part here is
1) cron started wget but for some reason downloads didn't start
2) azureus didn't come up & cron didn't even leave a mail behind stating what error
I am not sure whats wrong here, but the the reasons may be
1) network is was not up when wget was running.
2) some error in crontab config
3) cron deamon died
4) some unforeseen error happened
the script i use to reboot my router is
my crontab looks like
Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
10 2 * * *
10 2 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /opt/azureus/azureus
13 2 * * * wget -ci /home/gaurish/dl-list.txt
