[rrd-users] RE : Re: problem update with crontab

[Guennoc Bernard]

just a guess but the instruction:
  gawk {print $1} ..
  should be changed to:
  gawk '{print $1}' ..

It's a common problem, your script works fine when run manually but 
fails when run by crontab. Usually it's a difference in environment - 
either environment settings or path.

I normally use full paths for everything when writing scripts for cron, eg :

#!/bin/sh
MyHome="/home/baizura/"
DATA=`tail -1 "${MyHome}percubaan/reading" | gawk {print $1} -`
/bin/echo $DATA
TIMESTAMP=`/bin/date +%s`
/bin/echo $TIMESTAMP
/usr/local/bin/rrdtool update "${MyHome}sss.rrd" $TIMESTAMP:$DATA
/usr/local/bin/rrdtool fetch sss.rrd LAST --start 1173839600


BTW - I think you may also have had an error in the DATA= line, but 
I'm not sure (haen't really got going yet today !).
