I have CentOS 5.0 running on a box with 384 MB of RAM and on two boxes with 512 MB of RAM. Whether or not the 256 MB of RAM you have is causing the problem, consider adding more RAM. You and your system will be happier with more RAM! Lanny http://lowcostmagazines.com

If you just want STDERR to get mailed to root (or wherever you specify), remove the "2>$1" from your cron entry. This is what instructs the shell to combine STDOUT with STDERR. Your cron entry should look like: backup.sh >>/var/log/backup.log >> /var/log/backup.log to append STDOUT output to backup.log. cron automatically mails any output from programs.

Runing a script under cron. Append stdout and stderr to a log file, propagate stderr back to cron for email reporting
by Alexander Georgiev 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Dear List, I want to run a rsync-ing script in cron, generating a very verbose -vv rsync log in a log file. The log file should combine both stderr and stdin, which is easy: backup.sh >>/var/log/backup.log 2>&1 However, I would like to propagate only stderr to cron - in case there has been an error, cron will mail me the assembled stderr output. I tried the following: $ (./backup.sh > /var/log/backup.log) 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/backup.log which propagates the stderr to cron, but lines written to /var/log/backup.log are out of sequence - for example if the contents of backup.sh are: #!/bin/bash echo "out 1" >&1 echo "out 2" >&1 echo "out 3" >&1 echo "out 4" >&1 echo "err 5" >&2 echo "out 6" >&1 echo "out 7" >&1 echo "out 8" >&1 I get in /var/log/backup.log: out 1 out 2 out 3 out 4 out 6 out 7 out 8 err 5 I would like the lines in their initial sequence. Do you know a shell trick or a tool that I can use to achive desired goal? Best regards, alex
