crontab - scripts not exiciting.

[Gregory Machin]

Hi.
I have a script that needs to run from a cron job. I added the script
as explained, in the deployment instructions.

crontab -e (root) looks as follows

* * * * *  /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server1
-z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * *  /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server2
-z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1

file permissions
 # ls -asl /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py
12 -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 8740 Mar 11 10:05 /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py

the messages log indicates that it has run


Mar 11 11:47:01 linux-epfq /usr/sbin/cron[18297]: (root) CMD
(/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server1 -z
10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1 )
Mar 11 11:47:01 linux-epfq /usr/sbin/cron[18299]: (root) CMD
(/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server2 -z
10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1)

But it's not doing anything.
When I run the same syntax command from the command line it runs
correctly every time.

I have tried changing the fill permissions and the syntax of the cron
entries but nothing works.

Any ideas what I have missed ?

Thanks
