How to run a cron with bash script here.What i did as follows and here with errors.I want to know how to do that in ubuntu.I was struck with it now
bash.sh file
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/Controller
/usr/bin/php post.php
In crontab -e
* * * * * /home/samitha/bash.sh >> /home/samitha/log/cron.log 2>&1
But now i getting following error
/bin/sh: 1: /home/samitha/bash.sh: Permission denied
How will i fix it ? what i did wrong ?
you can try the following solution as well:
chmod +x post.php
chmod +x bash.sh
echo "* * * * * /home/samitha/bash.sh >> /home/samitha/log/cron.log 2>&1" >> cronjob
chmod +x cronjob
/etc/init.d/crond start #redhat based servers like centos
/etc/init.d/cron start #debian based servers like ubuntu
crontab cronjob
The user executing that cron (the one who executes cron -e) doesn't have proper rights for executing that script. That is: either the script lacks the execution flag, or it's not possible to reach it because some of its ancestor directories lack the execution flag.
The problem could be that your user does not have the rights to execute the file.
First you set the execution flag for your script
chmod +x /home/samitha/bash.sh
Then you should check the permissions for the php file with
ls -lah /var/www/Controller
If neither your usergroup nor your username shows up, you have to run the script with superuser rights or change its permissions.
First way would be put your entry in
sudo crontab -e
or the second one would be (which I would not recommend, as everyone would be allowed to execute the script by calling your site)
chmod a+x /var/www/Controller/post.php
