Hi,
Is there a bug under cron on CentOS 5.2 x86_64 ? kernel 2.6.18-92
Something is strange on my system. I have a simple shell script to run on many computers . When I run this script by hand, everything works fine on all workstations.
But if I start this script via crontab vmplayer is never install with no errors.
Any ideas ? Best regards.

Is there a reason why you have a comment sign in front of each line?

It's only a prompt.

When you say "I run this script by hand", do you mean run the script itself or each line of the script as you showed above? Did you try to redirect stdout/stderr to files to see what is going on?

Hi,
The following script works fine on all worksation when it's start manually or if I run it line by line manually.
If I would like to run it on crontab, the following line "/usr/bin/yum -y install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.x86_64" not install the new release of vmplayer with no errors.
#!/bin/bash
SHELL=/bin/bash export SHELL
/etc/init.d/vmware stop
/usr/bin/yum -y remove VMwarePlayer.x86_64 /usr/bin/yum -y remove VMware-Player.x86_64
/usr/bin/yum -y install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.x86_64
/usr/bin/vmware-networks --stop /usr/bin/vmware-networks --migrate-network-settings /vmware/virtualmachine /usr/bin/vmware-networks --start
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 vmware on ##############################################

Is the last statement translated from French or the actual error message?
Anything in /var/log/cron ?
Mogens
My pb seem to be with vmplayer rpm.

Hi,
The pb is with the vmplayer rpm package with cron. I can't install it if we don't have a tty.
The following is the log file when start the script by cron.
The message that :
Installed: VMware-Player.x86_64 0:2.5.1-126130 Complete!
is not true. (vmplayer never install via cron)

Just tested the following:
*/5 * * * * yum -y install gnome-nettool >> /tmp/crontest 2>&1
and it worked fine... Are you sure the script is executable by the crontab user? Try the redirects like in my example to see what is going on
