dsjob wrapper script for cron

Post by badger »

Hello all,

Does anyone have a simple wrapper script sample they can share that is used to run a job from crontab? It would need to source in the DS environment, etc.

doesn't have to be fancy, the main purpose of this is to run a job which needs to be run hourly. It doesn't seem possible to schedule an hourly job using Director without setting up 24 separate shedules: ugly and difficult to maintain in production. a simple crontab entry solves that.

Thanks!

Not exactly in the 'simple' camp but perhaps a good starting point: viewtopic.php?t=85578
