Hello, I've got a big issue with external cron jobs. In my application I've added tasks to crontab which should be executed every day, e.g. 0 0 * * * myapp *applications/myapp/cron/task_update_vacation_days.py 30 0 * * * myapp *applications/myapp/cron/task_insert_public_holidays.py
Now I found out that the cron jobs are not executed every day on the live server. The cron jobs are started from a system cron job as specified in the documentation: python web2py.py -J -C -D 1 >> /tmp/cron.customer.output The jobs are executed very irregular, some jobs get executed almost every day and others just 2 times in the last 7 days. here is the output for task_update_vacation_days: INFO:web2py.cron:WEB2PY CRON (external): myapp executing *applications/myapp/cron/task_update_vacation_days.py in /srv/web/customer/web2py at 2014-01-25 00:00:02.179185 INFO:web2py.cron:WEB2PY CRON (external): myapp executing *applications/myapp/cron/task_update_vacation_days.py in /srv/web/customer/web2py at 2014-01-18 00:00:02.291735 then I checked the syslog to make sure "web2py.py -J -C -D 1" was called exactly every minute. so the problem seems to be that web2py somehow thinks the task should not be started? how can this happen? does anyone have an idea? regards, Alex -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
