I have exactly the same problem :
What i don't understand it's how to specify path of SHELL=/bin/sh Because i can't move my script from :
/home/ubuntu/folder/monitoring.shdo I have to specify the path on my script or on the crontab? and how can I retrieve the path?
there's the content of my crontab :
*/1 7-19 * * * /home/ubuntu/folder/monitoring.shContent of monitoring.sh
#!/bin/bash
touch testcronsh.txt
python monitoring.pyActually when i try to execute my script via crontab i have that error :
/bin/sh: 1: root: not found 1 Answer
Okai I have found the solution.
First thing to know i'm a beginner in linux env.
So i have created a monitoring.sh script with chmod 770. this file call an other file named monitoring.py who got chmod 770.
Than i add the monitoring.sh on my crontab.
What i didn't know it's the crontab user isn't the same
So the call of my python script on my .sh script must have the full path
monitoring.sh
#!/bin/bash
touch testcronsh.txt
python /home/ubuntu/folder/monitoring.py
