  • crontab command not run

    2 answers




I’m trying to execute a binary file created by PyInstaller from a python code from crontab. I have tried to insert many lines by using “crontab -e” but the binary file was not executed.



Example of the crontab commands I have tried:



* */12 * * * Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt

* */12 * * * open Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt

* */12 * * * root Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt

* */12 * * * root open Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt


Do you have any idea on how to execute this binary file?
I’m trying to execute those command on Ubuntu 16.04 VPS server.



Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my English.

          Use an absolute path:



          * */12 * * * /Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt


          In addition, the file has to be executable. This can be done with chmod +x /Path/dist/BinaryFile.



          Note that the time is probably not what you want, but it will run just fine.

          • Don't forget to redirect stderr too: * */12 * * * /Path/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt 2>&1 Otherwise, you can fill up mail with errors.

          • Hello, I have tried this and also tried the following command (* */12 * * * root /bin/chmod +x /root/program/dist/BinaryFile > LogFile.txt 2>&1) but the program is still not running. the problem is not in the binary because it's working fine when i click on (i use a gui in my vps). thank you in advance

          • Yes of course. And for testing the program i'm using a command that must make the program execute every 5 minutes (Ex: # */5 * * * * chmod +x /root/follow-back/dist/FollowBack > FollowBackLog.txt)

            @ZikoCpp Yes, # starts a comment, so cron ignores that line. Specifically, "Lines whose first non-space character is a pound-sign (#) are comments, and are ignored." src

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
