I was never able to get cronsub to accept arguments to the Python script; perhaps I was doing it wrong, but this worked so I stopped worrying about it. - Original Message - From: "River Tarnell" To: Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [Toolserver-l] Submitting Python jobs to SGE from cron > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Russell Blau: >> With these scripts in your home directly, you can then set up a cron job >> to >> run any Python script using the following syntax in your crontab: > >> 30 9 * * *$HOME/pysub jobname $HOME/path/script.py arg1 arg2 > > What feature(s) does this provide that cronsub doesn't? > > - river. > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) > > iEYEARECAAYFAk0mDFAACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJCaQCeO8xJQypYe6p4y08ijt7/2gl2 > wngAn0CbmLG4nie6bNqPs7EDJYc8clZZ > =7wHw > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > > ___ > Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l > Posting guidelines for this list: > https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette > ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette

[Toolserver-l] Submitting Python jobs to SGE from cron
Since a number of users seem to be struggling with the conversion to
Solaris, I thought I would share the scripts I have been using to start my
Python bots from Solaris cron using the job server. If you want to use
these, be sure to substitute your username for "username" in the last line
of listing 1, and your python path (if you have one defined) in the third
line of listing 2.
With these scripts in your home directly, you can then set up a cron job to
run any Python script using the following syntax in your crontab:
30 9 * * *$HOME/pysub jobname $HOME/path/script.py arg1 arg2
"jobname" is an arbitrary name to be given to the job. Be sure to include
$HOME/ in both places; replace /path/ with the path from your home directory
to the Python script.
I don't know as much about bash as I do about Python, so it is very possible
someone else can improve on these scripts. :-) But feel free to use them
if they are helpful.
