Wrapper to keep track of status/output/etc. of cron jobs Quick instructions, more will follow later: Example wrapping of a script run from cron: */15 * * * * root scriptherder --mode wrap --syslog --name my_job -- /usr/local/bin/my_job -v Nagios NRPE checks. One specific for my_job and one catch-all: command[check_scripts]=/usr/local/bin/scriptherder --mode check command[check_cosmos]=/usr/local/bin/scriptherder --mode check my_job To manually inspect the entrys in the 'database': $ scriptherder Don't forget to add a cronjob to clean out old entries from the 'database': # cat /etc/cron.daily/scriptherder_cleanup #!/bin/sh # # Remove scriptherder data older than 7 days. # DIR="/var/cache/scriptherder/" test -d ${DIR} || exit 0 find ${DIR} -type f -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f #
