Usage on windows with integrated command about cron HOT 5 CLOSED

Installed on linux as I didn't get an answer

both commands are working fine now

from cron.

Hi davejal,

Thanks for using Cron. You can use the Windows AT command, install CRONw or use crontab in Cygwin. I would prefer Cygwin because it brings many Linux tools to Windows.

Please note that I develop and support Cron in my free time. I don't earn any money with this. So please be a little bit more patient with receiving free support from me.

Thank you,

Hi Liebig,

I was glad to be able to use something you wrote, I just didn't want to
waste your perfect time for something I already did on linux (as I have
linux knowledge to).

Sorry If I seemed to rush you for a response.

Thanks for all.

regards,

Dave

Hi Liebig,

I have one small question:
"How could I troubleshoot if something isn't working as it's supposed to?"

I wrote a small cron to mail me some info out of a db every night, but I receive the mails double. I have to say I fumbled a lot with the cron->controller->route->command before I finally got to something working, but I think I removed all other references to this mail function. Were would you start debugging and how?

regards,

Dave

p.s. I'm working on debian 7 with laravel 4.2

from cron.

Hi Dave,

Have a look at the cron_manager and cron_job database tables. If you find more than one entry in the cron_manager table for your defined time interval, you probably execute Cron too often. If you find more than one entry in the cron_job table for a manager id, your probably call your send-mail-function too often. Otherwise have a look at your send-mail-function. Maybe it sends the mail twice?

Best Regards,
