Executing a list of shell scripts via cron.daily?

Executing a list of shell commands via cron.daily?

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to server admin tasks and completely self taught. (which is always an issue.)

I am having a small problem with my domain logs/stats software. I am using a relatively well known script called 'Awstats' which does it's job quite well.

I have a crontab task running; to collect all the data from the apache log file and sort it into awstat's data file which is working perfectly.

The problem I have is that the cron.daily file/job I have created to regenerate the .html pages fails. However, if I run the commands independently through a shell, everything runs properly.

I have created a file (viewable below) that contains a shell command for each domain, that is located inside the cron.daily folder. If someone could please explain to me why this is not working or even show me how I can resolve the issue, I would be very appreciative.

Code:

#/etc/cron.daily/awstats_pages
#!/bin/bash
/var/www/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -update -config=xx.com -dir=/home/xx.com/stats done;

I apologise if this is a stupid question but I have spent hours trying to resolve it myself to no avail.

Thanks, Gordon MacK

 

The first line must be

Code:

#!/bin/bash

not

Code:

#/etc/cron.daily/awstats_pages

 

I made that change, had no effect unfortunately... any other thoughts?

 

What does the script look like now?
Did you save it with Unix linebreaks?
