Re: [gentoo-user] how to test crond actions ??
no, i give this just as an example... i'm adding crond stuff quite often and just want a way to test them to be sure they work as expected... as u may expect often they have to call remote processes over ssh or keychain for example and it is hard to resolve problems with permissions and so on... |raptor wrote: | |>|> Is there a way to test crontab... what i mean is to run a script in the same way the crond did it, so I can check if there is some |>|> problems, permissions wrong etc... |>|> Otherwie I have to wait until crond trigger the action and still have to guess what is really happening by the external script actions... |>|> |>|> Is there such a way to simulate full crond.. and later to be sure that when the script executes after a day or so, everything will go fine... |>|> |>| |>|Why not just set it to run one time in five minutes?

[gentoo-user] how to test crond actions ??
hi, Is there a way to test crontab... what i mean is to run a script in the same way the crond did it, so I can check if there is some problems, permissions wrong etc... Otherwie I have to wait until crond trigger the action and still have to guess what is really happening by the external script actions... Is there such a way to simulate full crond.. and later to be sure that when the script executes after a day or so, everything will go fine... tia -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
