 Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2008 1:56 pm Post subject: Solaris 10 cron problem |
 |
|
I have Version 0.8.7b installed on Solaris 10. I can run poller.php from the cacti user and see the graphs generate, but poller.php will not run from cron. When I look in /var/cron/log, I do not see the cron run. I tried sending output to a file but it does not populate. Below is the cron and when run from the cacti user.
Anyone know what I am missing?
Thank you.

Well, first, get rid of the following:
| Quote: | | PHP Warning: Module 'zlib' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 |
Then, goto System Utilities->Technical Support and see if there is anything interesting there.
Then, run the following:
If it says "CGI" version, then change your cron to include:
Although, I suspect that won't have anything to do with it. Sounds more like a Cron issue to me. Environment maybe.

TheWitness, thank you for the reply. I am not sure how to correct the "PHP Warning: Module 'zlib' already loaded in Unknown on line 0"
php -v displays:
| Code: |
bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/php -v
PHP Warning: Module 'zlib' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Jun 11 2008 12:55:33)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies |
I reviewed System Utilities -> Technical Support and everything seems normal.
Do you know how I can determine why the cacti cron does not appear to run? I don't see anything for it in /var/cron/log , but see jobs for other users working. If a job fails does it still show up in the log?
Thanks. |

crontab -e
and put
| Code: |
*/5 * * * * php -q /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php --force --debug >> /var/local/log/poller.log 2>&1
|
Check the cron command that I gave you above. It's should show some more logs that your command doesn't. Let me know.

lipos, thanks for hijacking the thread! What you posted has nothing to do with the issue I am having.
Can anyone help? I can run poller.php from the user account, get a zlib error but the graphs generate. When set the cron in my previous post, it does not appear to run since I do not see it in /var/cron/log. I verified the cron is set with correct permissions. When I send the output to a file nothing is added to the file.
Does anyone know common ways to troubleshoot if cron does not run? I set it the same way as other users are set and their jobs are running and showing in /var/cron/log. |

| lipos, I am sorry about being an idiot earlier, I did not understand how adding what you stated would allow cron to run. I changed as you advised to include -q and --force --debug and it now works. Can you explain why -q or --force --debug made this run? |
