Help with cronnix and java command about cronnix HOT 3 OPEN

Tony,

judging by the output, your java command is incorrect (it's printing the 
usage). My guess is that either you've got a line break in there somewhere or 
maybe quotes which are swallowed. What does your command look like?

You get the best results with cron if you stick the command in a script, make 
sure it runs even with PATH unset and schedule that script to run from cron.

Hope that helps!

Sven

Thanks, would I simply copy/paste my command into a text doc and name it 
script.sh ? and have cron run that or is there something else that needs to be 
done?

Tony, you copy your command in a script and make it executable (chmod +x 
script.sh). Make sure that all commands are executed with their full path. This 
is critical, because the daemon running this script will have a different 
environment than your user account and therefore may not be able to find the 
commands in your script. For example, you'd write /usr/bin/java instead of just 
java. Similarly for any other commands or paths. Always use full paths, that 
saves you lots of headaches with cron ;)
