R80.20 - Crontab not triggering on MDS - $MDS_FWDIR/scripts/web_api_show_package.sh

[_KL_]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to run the script on MDS for specific CMA and when i copy paste it directly to expert mode it works well however when i am trying to put it in crontab its not triggering.

Also, is there any way we can change the file name of this (show-package-xx-x-xxx-xx)

Attached document for crontab output (where 192.168.1.50 is CMA IP)

Any suggestion guys.

You will probably need to create a script that sources a few items before calling the desired script.

On top of that you cannot use $MDS_FWDIR in the path to the script, you need to use a full path to your script.

Yes, directly with crontab it didnt worked. however have created an another shell script and called this path inside that script it worked very well.
Thanks for your input.
