[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 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
