For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Expect with Cron failed

Posted by mengatus (mengatus), 30 October 2007
I have a expect script using ftp to put a file into the remote system.

I scheduled a cron job to run the expect script everyday.

The expect script is running fine under command line, but not in cron environment.

The error happened on spawn ftp $hostName

after certain time: ftp: connection timed out.

Is there anything I need to setup for cron environment?

Thanks very much for any help.

Frank

I think I fixed that problem.

I put full path of ftp and it worked.

Yes ... that would be it; the cron and the command line current directories and paths can be different ...
