problem in launching goGPS from crontab

[lbenvenuto91]

Hi,

I'm using goGPS to calculate ZTD from a small GNSS receivers network. I wrote a python script as I want to calculate ZTD every day automatically. This python script, and goGPS are in an Ubuntu server 18.04. As I manually excecute my script everything is fine and goGPS can finish the elaboration. The problems come when I run the script (and so also goGPS from crontab). I can't actually understand the problem but it seems that aria2c is not able to download all necessary files when it's run from crontab. I don't understand the reason why? Any ideas?

The line in the /etc/crontab file is the following:

34 17 * * * gter /usr/bin/python3 /home/gter/REPOSITORY/concerteaux/concerteaux_gnss/elabora_dati_gnss.py > /tmp/elaborazione_dati_gnss_ce.log 2>&1

The goGPS version is the v 1.0b8 and the Matlab version is the R2020a
In the elabora_dati_gnss.py script, apart from other commands, the command goGPS( inifile',0) is launched.
I attach the logs of the elaborations from crontab and from comand line.
goGPS_run_ZTD_elaborations_20210217_090008_crontab.log
goGPS_run_ZTD_elaborations_20210219_172932_command_line.log

If useful the problem is clear. Running the software from crontab "aria2c" command line application doesn't work properly.

Executing 
   aria2c -c -i ./reserved/tmpAriaDownload.lst -d /home/gter/REPOSITORY/goGPS_MATLAB_git/data/satellite/EPH/2151
