Cron job request [temporary]

[TomasM]

Can I run a few extra cron jobs [<5] today or tomorrow please? I've hit my limit on syntax errors..

 

{My HelioNet and HelioHost usernames are the same; my domain is $my_username.tk .}

Where is it that your having a problem with syntax? Is it in writing the cron line or in your script? And if your having a problem with the script can't you just test it manually?

I made some errors trying to get createrepo running on Stevie, mainly with Python environment setup. I should be fine with crontab entries, but would like a few extra attempts up my sleeve to settle any other potential problems - or to check (permissions-wise) if this is even viable.

 

I'm only using cron because I couldn't find an alternate (non-system call) method of running the script, and haven't been able to replicate the server environment locally.

Ok you can run a few extra cron jobs for testing today but make sure when your finished your only running two cron jobs a day.

Thanks; I was able to complete my testing and get things working.
