need help to run a script from cron

Here's what I'm trying to get running (not the script complete, but all I need for this example):

#! / bin/sh

esxcfg-info - s & gt; /tmp/info.txt

output

This script works from the command line and info.txt is filled with loads of data. If I run it from cron, I don't get any errors, but the file has no data (0KB).

I run other scripts of shell cron with no problems, but they are not call esxcfg orders. I guess that's because cron does not run as root as I am from the command line. Can anyone help to get this shell script to run or what do I need to get cron to complete (perhaps as root)? I don't want examples of perl, that my shell script is much more and I'm not a perl programmer, so I does the conversion.

Thank you!

You must specify the path complete the command that you try to run or any other entry Besides, since the projected TRACK can not set when the cron job started.

who can help you locate that

[root@himalaya Devastator-2009-05-22--2]# which esxcfg-info
/usr/sbin/esxcfg-info

  • Best way to run a script from a script

    Hello world

    I'm looking for running a script from an After Effects script, so far, there is aftereffects.executeScript (scriptContent) who use eval to run the script. The problem is that it uses eval so it is not really sure and he is slower. So I would like to know what is actually used when we file-> Script-> Run script file.

    As seen in the Javascript tool Guide CC page 168 in the section QAnywhere Corss-DOM.

    aftereffects.executeScript(theScriptContent); // Doesn't work with a script which as comments AND the script has access to my scope
    

    In addition, if there are comments like / * * / or / * / in the script I want to run, it no longer works.

    So, what is the best way to run a script from a script?

    If you want to evaluate a whole script file, you can use $.evalFile (file, timeout) - see description in ESTK object model viewer

    To evaluate a bit of code, you can use eval, that's for sure.

  • When I run my script from a shortcut ExtendScript is invoked, but this isn't when I run the menu

    I use Photshop CS2 on Win XP

    I set up a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + P) to execute a .jsx file in the folder... \Presets\Scripts\.

    When I activate the script via the keyboard shortcut ExtendScript is called and interrupts execution on main() statement (see below).

    When I activate the script via the menu file/Scripts that extendscript is not called and the script runs up to the end.

    The .jsx file is a wrapper for a .vbs script that does the 'real' work

    The .jsx is:-

    main() function
    {
    var VBSscript = file ("C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Presets/Scripts/GGN_PS_Code_v1_2.vbs");
    If (VBSscript.Exists) VBSscript.execute ();
    }
    main();

    Anyone have any ideas on how to disable the invocation of ExtendScript when I run the script from the skortcut?

    One thing to check is that the .jsx extension is associated with Photoshop and not ExtendScript.

  • Running a script from the command line

    Hi all
    First of all, I'd like to say I'm just starting ORACLE 11 g with no prior experience of the database. I currently lectures once a week. However, I am stuck with a problem. I am trying to access my database of the United of the House so I can do some work, apparently I can only access it via the command prompt (which is good for me) I began by downloading a shell www.putty.org secure and I managed to connect to my database of test of the University from my laptop at home. However, I have a createHR.sql of script file that is stored in my C:\ORACLE directory which I try to access in order to load my test tables and start practicing with them.
    use command line

    SQL > C:\ORACLE\createHr and I get SP2-0310: unable to connect to the file "C:\ORACLE\create HR.sql".

    normally, this should load and run the script - as with the browser method guests will get the tables is created and the test data.

    I am now officially frustrated that I can't get any done practice, offered any help will be welcome.

    Concerning

    These two sentences above are essential. If I had to bet a directory C:\ORACLE assumption is located locally on your laptop. However, it seems you have done a SSH connection to your server and connected to the database using SQL * more customer on the server. The client on the server has no idea or access to files on your machine.

    You must open the script on your laptop and copy / paste into your SQL SSH * more session or you will need to find a way to copy this script on the server, so you can run it.

    I hope this helps!

  • Need help with understanding PowerCli scripting by LucD

    Hello

    I'll give you the standard statement that I am a noob powercli and don't really know what I'm doing here.  Here's a script that works because it runs without error and gives a report but I need help to understand this under his weight.

    Connect-VIServer '< our vcenter >' - user < user > admin-password < admin-user-pwd >

    $allvms = @)

    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

    $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-1)

    $metrics = "mem.usage.average".

    $stats = get-Stat-entity $vms - start $start - Stat $metrics

    $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} Timestamp.Day}, {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

    $vmstat = "" | Select the day, MemAlloc, MemMin, MemMax, MemAvg, VmName

    $vmstat. VmName = $_. Values [1]

    $vmstat. Day = $_. Group [0]. Timestamp.Date

    $mem = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Measure-object-property value - average - Maximum - Minimum

    $vmstat. MemMax = [int] $mem. Maximum ##dfsdf

    $vmstat. MemAvg = [int] $mem. Average

    $vmstat. MemMin = [int] $mem. Minimum

    $vmstat. MemAlloc = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

    $allvms += $vmstat

    }

    $allvms |

    Export-Csv "c:\ < folder > \ <>.csv file Destination"-noTypeInformation

    It connects to our server vcenter server and offers two days of data.  Today and yesterday, all with a timestamp of 0:00.  See below for an example of a virtual machine.

    VmNameDayMemAllocMemMaxMemAvgMemMin
    < name VM1 >07/05/2016 0:004096181818
    < name VM1 >06/05/2016 0:0040963612

    8

    The MemMax, the MemAvg and the MemMin are for this day?  Just the max of this period of sampling time 0:00?

    What I'm looking for, it is to find that the use of the maximum memory of virtual machines are for the whole day.  So I hope that I can remove memory of VMs that do not use it.  I was listed on the change $start = (Get-Date). The value of AddDays(-1) to $start = (Get-Date). AddDays(-30) and see what things alike.  I want to be sure however that the value for MemMax is the highest value for a period of 24 hours.  That is to say for the 07/05/2016 the given virtual machine never used a maximum of 18% of his memory attributed the 06/05/2016 the maximum amount of memory used was 36%, and so on that I extend on the date range.

    Kind regards

    Michael

    It then becomes a rather simple Get-Stat script.

    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

    $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-1)

    $metrics = "mem.usage.average".

    Get-Stat - entity $vms - start $start - Stat $metrics |

    Select Timestamp,@{N='VM'; E={$_. @entity.name}}, Value |

  • Need help to write a script that opens files, removes layers and sous-calques

    Hey all,.

    I'm a noob to the community of script, and what I try to do is file edit commands that share the same names of layers and sublayers. I have a few questions that would be incredibly useful if I could have answered.

    I'm not sure how to define a script too call out of the layers that have been created without script. I need to create a variable for the existing layers and leave the script to know what their names are in the files?

    For example, I have three files which have each layer named 'cutlayer', 'trimlayer', 'fold' and 'work '. I need to write a script that opens three files, deletes the layer 'fold' of each file, and then move the layer "trimlayer" in his own sublayer in 'work' (the base layer can be on the top so reorganization sublayers is not necessary to worry about something). I do not understand how to write the script because I couldn't find examples in the documentation for the script provided on the adobe website which has worked with existing files.

    It's my shot at what I'm trying to do, with English fill in the blanks of what I do not know how to script. If anyone can help me understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    app.documents.openDlg (prompt, filter, MultiSelect);  the user opens the associated files

    If (documents.length > 0) //run the script through each document individually

    {

    sourceDoc = activeDocument;

    delete the "fold" sourceDoc layer

    move the "trimlayer" in the layer "work."

    remove the underlayment 'path' of layer "work."

    Run the script through each document

    Save the new file name folder in the new parallel to the current folder on the hard disk

    Go out and spend in each document until there is no more

    }

    create new document

    Place documents published in different layers in the new document, with a distance between them, optimize the space on a 51 "x 51" work plan, using as little of the artboard as possible. "

    All comments are things basically, I do not know how and am trying to figure out how to do, so if anyone has a second to explain some of these things, I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks again!

    I know it of very frustrating when his apprenticeship and things don't go as planned, but understand that it is quite confusing as it is and do not add more confusion to the mix by using other tools than those provided. I mean JSLint, it might be useful with GENERAL javascript syntax, but Adobe's Javascript implementation is another animal, or another language, always JavaScript, but intended to be run by its own engine. JSLint has no idea what "layers", or "pathItems" are, it will trigger errors when he sees the objects, it does not recognize.

    .. .in learning... not to take baby, write a single line of code and run... If it works, write another line of code

    Hi Ted,

    You are welcome

    Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.

    Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.

    Save the changes and exit the bios.

    Follow the previous procedure below:

    Insert the bootable disc of Ophcrack and laptop stop.

    Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  • How to run a script from a "Button 1" button?

    Hi all, I had this problem to have a window with several buttons named "Button 1" "button 2"... and run the script 'Script A' If you click on button 1, the script 'Script B' If you click on the button 2, etc... ".

    Here is my small script:

    indesign #target

    create a table of contents that send directly to the good script

    var l = new Window ("dialog");

    var buttongroup = w.add ("group");

    var panel = buttongroup.add ("panel");

    var button1 is panel.add ("button", undefined,"Script");.

    var button2 is panel.add ("button", undefined, "Script B");.

    var button3 is panel.add ("button", undefined, "Script C");.

    var cancel = buttongroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel", {name:'cancel'});})

    buttongroup.addEventListener ('click', press)

    w.Show ();

    function press (e) {}

    {if(e.Target.type=="Button")}

    If {(A e.target.text is "Script. »)

    w.Close ();

    app.doScript (new File("c/scriptA.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);

    }

    Else if (e.target.text == "Script B") {}

    app.doScript (new File("c/scriptB.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);

    }

    Else if (e.target.text == "Script C") {}

    app.doScript (new File("c/scriptC.jsx"),ScriptLanguage.javascript);

    }

    }

    }

    Each manuscript A, B and C starts with an app.dialogs.add)

    And that is the problem, he said that an alert or a modal dialog box is already active

    I tried the w.close (), but it does not work...

    I don't think that addEventListener is what I need, maybe I'm wrong for a window, but it is the only way to give names to the buttons, is it not?

    Instead of var this:

    w = new Window ("dialog");

    Use this:

    var l = new Window ("range");
