The problem is that your Python script is not executable, and is therefore run 
as a shell (/bin/sh) script.  "import" is a shell command from ImageMagick 
which takes a screenshot of an X display.  The fix is to make the script 
executable.

This behaviour is somewhat unfortunate and there's an open issue to resolve it, 
which will probably mean having cronsub raise an error if the script is not 
executable.

[Toolserver-l] Job scheduling a python bot script

[Dr. Trigon]

Hello all

I'm currently trying to get 'Job scheduling' working form my modified
pywikipedia bot python script. According to
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Job_scheduling (Converting an existing
cron job to use the
scheduler) I tried to convert

=

0 2 * * * nice -n +15 python /home/drtrigon/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py -cron

0 0 1,16 * * nice -n +15 python /home/drtrigon/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py
-skip_clean_user_sandbox -compress_history:[] -cron

0 6 * * * nice -n +15 python /home/drtrigon/pywikipedia/subster_beta.py
2>> /home/drtrigon/public_html/DrTrigonBot/subster.html

=

to

=

0 2 * * * cronsub -s mainbot $HOME/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py -cron

0 0 1,16 * * cronsub -s compbot $HOME/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py
-skip_clean_user_sandbox -compress_history:[] -cron

0 6 * * * cronsub -s substerbot $HOME/pywikipedia/subster_beta.py 2>>
$HOME/public_html/DrTrigonBot/subster.html

=

AND I tried to run to first of those jobs with 'qsub', by:

  qsub $HOME/pywikipedia/runbotrun.py -cron

BUT this leads to the follwing output in my $HOME:

=

general DrTrigonBot caller. It runs all the different sub tasks,^Jthat

=

... and this is the point were I am getting lost... this message
looks VERY strange to me, since I'm not using an X server (explicitely)
and I have no clue what the 'error/import.c' means there.

Please can somebody give me a hint? Any ideas are welcome!!

Thanks a lot and greetings

Dr. Trigon

ps: by the way; thanks for the good server maintenance and all that
stuff!!
