'Cron Job - Not Running/ Logging
I want to have a cron job that will: a. Run a python file (test.py) every minute. b. Log its output and errors to a file that I can debug.
My test.py path:
/root/my_project/my_project/warehouse/test.py
My test.py code:
print('cron job test')
Empty txt file (path) where I want to save output of the script:
/root/my_project/out.txt
My virtual environment path:
/root/my_project/my_project_venv/
My cron job line (in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
* * * * 0 cd /root/my_project/my_project/ && /root/my_project/my_project_venv/bin/python /root/my_project/my_project/warehouse/test.py >> /root/my_project/out.txt 2>&1
Antoher cron job attempet (in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
* * * * 0 /root/my_project/my_project_venv/bin/python /root/my_project/my_project/warehouse/test.py >> /root/my_project/out.txt 2>&1
However, it does not run, or at least I can not see that is running.
When running from the command line it is working, I can see the logs in "out.txt".
When running /bin/sh and then executing /bin/sh it is working - I can see the logs in "out.txt".
When running as a cron job I think this is not run since I can not find any logs about it.
I checked /var/mail/root to check from mails, but nothing.
Also checked /var/log/cron.log and nothing appears.
Any idea how to make this work? Or to debug this properly?
