I'm writing a cronjob that restarts the GradeAdapter on a daily basis.
After starting GradeAdapter (rungradeadapter), it doesn't fully start and seems to hanging there in my cronjob. Any suggestions on what should be in my shell-script to get it past this point?
thanks
Profile
If it runs properly when executed from within an interactive shell, but doesn't work from within a cron job, then suspect the environment variables. Check the ~/.profile file for the user who is running the cronjob.
env variables & nohup
yeah, it was variables-- was able to discover this by looking having the shell nohup the rungradeadapter command.
I think I'll leave the nohup on there anyway, because the GA-script itself doesn't do a good job of putting itself in the background.
Looking good now!
