Now you all have got me curious, so I set up a simple crontab file. First just to run a simple web page, then a simple taf with only a results html (hi there), and then the same taf with a mail action to email me. I had it run every minute. I am OS X 10.2.3, standard, not the server, running Witango 5. The mail action works fine, but the results html doesn't show up in my browser. ( I am running Chimera). The crontab file is stored in the /Applications/Witango/Server directory. It is called crontab.txt.

# Run this application file all the time (every minute)
* * * * * http://127.0.0.1/hithere.taf

I haven't tried a search action yet.

Jon,

I'm running it successfully on my OS X system hitting '127.0.0.1/sometaf.taf' once a minute, without any trouble at all. I'll take a look at your crontabfile, but so far don't see anything odd about it. Call or email me directly if you want to try some further troubleshooting.

To report bugs, go to http://developer.witango.com , log in and you'll see the link for the bugtrack system.

Yes, we have today and it was working with T2K. How do I report a bug?

Have you verified that the web server is responding with a browser on the
server:

1. start with http://localhost/Time/test.htm, where test.htm is any HTML
2. then http://localhost/Time/hello.taf
3. then http://localhost/Time/timeditems.taf?f=TaskComplete

1. verifies the web server
2. verifies the app server
3. verifies the appfile

We have tried all the combinations that we can think of from localhost
to 127.0.0.1 to the actual IP of the machine, machine name and fully
qualified name -- all to no avail...

This is looking a lot like a bug -- does anyone have an example of a
crontab file working with Witango version 5.x?

you can always replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 or, depending on your
OS, you could make an entry in your lmhosts file to map localhost to
127.0.0.1 (that would be for win2k, different OS's have different ways
to do this).

I changed crontab file as you suggested to Jon. But it still doesn't
understand the localhost.
I thought program files space might be creating problem, I moved
crontab to root dir. But same problem is there.

May I suggest that you combine TaskComplete, PhaseComplete, and
ProjectComplete into one task

 

example

 

# task completion notification. Look for every minute, Monday through
Friday

* 10-18 * * 1-5 http://localhost/Time/timeditems.taf?f=Complete

 

You are calling the same taf at the same time three times every minute
from10amto6pm5 days a week. I have to think that this is going to
cause some collisions. Also notice that it is crashing on
PhaseComplete which is the 2nd instance of the taf trying to run.

 

Current

# task completion notification. Look for every minute, Monday through
Friday

* 10-18 * * 1-5 http://localhost/Time/timeditems.taf?f=TaskComplete

#

# Phase completion notification. Look for every minute, Monday through
Friday

* 10-18 * * 1-5 http://localhost/Time/timeditems.taf?f=PhaseComplete

#

# Project completion notification. Look for every minute, Monday
through Friday

* 10-18 * * 1-5 http://localhost/Time/timeditems.taf?f=ProjectComplete

 

I hope this helps
