Execution problems

Added by Álvaro Labella about 12 years ago

Hi, i'm trying to use CDO software, inttime function in particular, as a part of a bash script in Linux. When I am logged as a my particular user in Linux and I execute the script, inttime function is OK and interpolate my data but when I try to execute the script in crontab (actually, it's root who executes the script when it's in crontab) I get inttime doesn't work...

Any idea of why inttime doesn't interpolate when it's executed in crontab?

Thank u in advance

A log file your session and of the failing cronjob would be helpful.

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem, when executing a csh script with cdo commands, it works. When I try to launch the same script from the crontab, cdo is not working. In the log file, nothing is repported, it seems like the script coudn't see the cdo commands lines.
I've make this simple example to be sure that it is a CDO issue:

#!/bin/csh
set dire='/home/user'
cd $dire
echo $PATH
which cdo
cdo -h inttime > $dire/kkk

I've check the PATH variable and execution permissions, and I've also tried different CDO versions (1.5.6, 1.5.8 and 1.5.9).
I enclose my cdo -V result:

From my experience, it is always better to use absolute paths for crontab-related stuff. re-write the calls with an absolute path, could be something like

cdo=/home/user/bin/cdo

and than replace all occurrences of cdo with $cdo.
