Re: [htdig] Error: Unable to open/create...

[Clint D. <cd...@gr...>]

Still having some problems with the crontab...


When I execute the following command as root, everything works great.
$ sh /Library/Tenon/Htdig/bin/rundig-realtree.sh




When the system crontab executes the same command, I get errors:
htdig: Unable to open/create document database
'/Library/Tenon/Htdig/db/www.realtree.com/db.docdb.work'

htmerge: Unable to create temporary word file
'/Library/Tenon/Htdig/db/www.realtree.com/db.wordlist.work.new'




Here's the crontab:
0      2       *       *       *       root    sh
/Library/Tenon/Htdig/bin/rundig-realtree.sh




Here are the contents of the shell script:
#! /bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "-v" ]; then
    verbose="-v"
fi
