[Cronw-devel] Cant start Cron Service under Windows SBS2008 and IIS-manager

[Lukas D. <L....@ed...>]

Hello Dear Cron Users,

Iam trying to set-up a Cronjob for my Company's OTRS. We want a job which automatically calls the mails every
15 minutes into the OTRS Ticket System. My boss has already started setting up the service and OTRS is running fine, but everytime when we try
to start the CronService I get Error Messages. I think something needs to be configured in the crontab file, perl, or the IIS-Manager.
My log file says that Rule.pm cannot be found. Sorry for the chaotic description, but am a beginner in such things.

Here a copy of my log file :

Re: [Cronw-devel] installing cronw problem

[malick h. <mal...@ya...>]

Hi Orlando,

I also tried to run cronw on win32 and after some while wasn't able to work
with cronw on win32 xp

I heard from the core developer that most cronw problems are based on newer
versions of Perl. I don't know which version should be used to keep cronw
stable. My cronw error looks as follow:



my cronw logfile tells me that

Can't call method "mtime" without a package or object reference at

which looks like mtime cannot be used even while Crontab.pm has the with use
File::stat 
object reference.


when I try P:\>net start cron
I get back :
The service is not responding to the control function.


when I try to start cron in Services

I get back

Could not start the Cron Service (CRONw) service on local computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely 
fashion


when I try

perl C:\CRONw\cronService.pl  --crontab=C:\CRONw\crontab.txt

I get back

[2009/02/12 16:26:15] Can't call method "mtime" without a package or object
reference at 
C:\CRONw/Crontab.pm line 370.
[2009/02/12 16:26:15] Can't call method "mtime" without a package or object
reference at 
C:\CRONw/Crontab.pm line 370.


This is a strange bug. I cannot uninstall the cron to reinstall it all over.
The biggest problem is an unmaintaned project for newer perl versions so
someone should really step unto this.

Maybe in your case you should check your system -> cronw and verify that you
can start / stop / reinstall the service first . second make sure that you
can test it with an cronw stable perl version. Or else try UNIX cron from
cygwin

[Cronw-devel] Win32::Daemon with Perl 5.10

[Patrick S. <Pat...@vi...>]

hi,

i hope there are some people that can help me out in this issue.

we need to use CRONw on a Windows machine and so we also need Win32::Daemon. as we are running perl 5.10 i was searching for this module but could only find the beta version from dave roth. well, after some tries i could install CRONw as a service... but always when i start the service it will be terminated immediately, telling that somethin ist not as it should be...

well i had a look at the logs and could only find this:

[2008/12/02 15:44:12] starting service
[2008/12/02 15:44:12] programdir: C:\CRONw

[Cronw-devel] installing cronw problem

[Orlando R. <rei...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm sorry to be asking this, and probably this has been asked in the
past.

I'm not using activate state perl but a perl that was compiled by my company
in a windows environment.

I added ppm support and all the modules that cronw needs are installed.

But I just can't get the cronw service to start...

I have changed the log.conf

log4perl.logger.cronw.cronService-pl  = DEBUG, log
log4perl.logger.cronw.Crontab-pm      = DEBUG, log

And this is all I get in the error messages (log file) when invoked
manually.

[2008/09/14 09:47:55] do not sleep because of service state
[2008/09/14 09:47:55] service stopped

I'm trying from the command line to call the application, doing so by
executing what is in the windows service.
c:\perl\bin\perl.exe "C:\CRONw_2.0\cronService.pl"
--crontab="C:\CRONw_2.0\crontab.txt"

I have tried with active state perl and with our own perl.

The modules installation proceeds in both versions (although it works in a
different manner).

I have Oracle10G installed, in the beginning, I thought this might be a
problem due to Oracle10g setting up PERL5LIB, and I guess the reason for the
service not starting is related to that. But if I call it by manually it
also doesn't work...

Ive read somewhere there is some problem with perl 5.8.8 ?

Can someone just give me some directions on how to fix this?

Best regards,

Orlando

Hi Justin,

Just had the same problem myself. Turns out the REAL problem is that=20
neither cronw or win32::daemon are being maintained any more.=20
win32::daemon only has installation data for perl 5.05, 5.06 and 5.08,=20
so if you want to use it you will have to downgrade your perl install.

Yay for old software!

*/30 * * * 0-7 C:\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\Perl_Scripts\webgrab.pl

As you can see I specify the full path of the executable and the full
path of the script I want to run. I think this is what you should do.
Give it the full path to the executable and then the parameters of what
you want it to do.

I am trying to install CRONw on my my machine, a Windows XP SP 2 machine
with WAMP installed.

The ActivePerl installation went smoothly, and is now installed as perl,
v5.10.0
1 registered patch.

When I enter the folder containing the CRONw code, c:\CRONw, and enter
'perl installer.pl' I get
'Log::Dispatch::FileRotate is not installed' followed by several usage
details.

When I got to individual install and try
'ppm install -noforce -follow modules\Win32-Daemon.ppd'
I get more 'Usage: ppm install [--force] [--nodeps] [--area <area>]
<module> | <url> | <file> | <num>'

Taking out the -<details>, I get
'ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install off this
platform'

I've diagnosed as far as I know how to, but don't know what action the
results warrant.  Please help.

Re: [Cronw-devel] Cronw-devel Digest, Vol 7, Issue 1

[Drew S. <dre...@dq...>]

File::DosGlob ?  Is there a ppd of this available?

How does installing this module effect Cronw; does one have to alter the
cronService.pl to point to it?

Thanks,
Drew.

Try installing the dosglob module that might help. I think that is what

Greetings,

I am trying to get cronw going on a Windows 2003 Server with ActiveState
Perl v5.8.8.
The installation went smoothly.

When I try to start, it errors off:

    >Net start CRON

    The service is not responding to the control function.

    More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

    >

The cronService.pl seems to be OK:

    >perl cronService.pl

    >


Trying to start it through the Services GUI I get:

    Could not start the Cron Service(CRONw) service on Local Computer.
    Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start 
        or control request in a timely fashion.



I don't think it is a permissions problem; I tried running it as
Administrator with the same results.

The log file is not being written to.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Drew.

[Cronw-devel] Curious issue with CronW

[<ro...@cg...>]

I recently installed CRONw on a Win2K3 R2 webserver running Apache, PHP,
and MySQL.  My purpose is to automate a mailer script to notify specific
individuals of timed events.  The initial test went well, the php script
executed as expected.

However, when I change the .php file those changes are not reflected in
the output from the CRON-processed file.  I changed various headers of the
e-mail and I keep getting the old version sent to other users and myself. 
I've restarted the CRON service, rebooted the box, etc.  It almost seems
as if CRON is caching the first version of the file and continues to run
that.  I even renamed the file on the server, seeing if the original
script would still run...and it is!  When I go to the .php file through a
browser it runs as it should (new version) even though there is no HTML
output.

Is there an inherent functionality of CRON that I am not aware of that
does this caching?  How do I change it?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

If you wait a bit longer, what does your log telling you?
Did you increase the logging level?

I think it may be a permission problem. Is the LOCAL SYSTEM user to access your 
home directory and all the directories to create_ftp_output.plx? I think most of 
the times this is not the case.

You may try to run cronw under a different user account but using your (probably 
Administrator) account seems to be a bad idea from a security point of view but 
may help with your problem. Please note that you have to grant some additional 
rights to your user in order to run a service under your account (plain 
Administrator is not enough).

[Cronw-devel] cron service starts, but does not run my edited crontab.txt file

[Geraldine Z. <zs...@ya...>]

what additional steps are needed?

here's my log (and I can see that perl.exe is running
in my task window processes):

[2007/01/11 12:23:27] starting service
[2007/01/11 12:23:27] cron service started

I edited the crontab file to just this one line, saved
it in the same spot, and waited...

*/2 * * * * C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\Documents and
Settings\Me\My Documents\create_ftp_output.plx

above perl script runs fine when I call it directly,
so it's not problem.

When i installed cronHelper.pl, I did not enter a
user/pass. Is that it?  I do have admin rights on the
machine. If that is the problem, I do go back and
enter that criteria on the command line.  This is my
first time trying to run a cron job, so I'm a newb.

Please increase debugging level and post an excerpt from the logs.

This is expected as you did not use the crontab argument in the command line.
