Nodejs cron job

twiago

Hello there,

i m trying to make a cronjob for a script that should run everyday at a specific time.
It has been working perfect with php on the server, but now i need it for nodejs

my command looks something like this

0 3 * * * /home/myAppName/apps/myAppName/node/bin/node /home/myAppName/apps/myAppName/someDir/report.js

the script should update some files and send an email, nothing happens even at the logs, neither error nor output.
M i missing something?

Thanks in Advance

Try modifying the cron job to log its output like so:

0 3 * * * ~/apps/myAppName/node/bin/node ~/apps/myAppName/someDir/report.js >> ~/logs/apps/myAppName/cron.log 2>&1

The next time the job runs any output or errors will be captured in ~/logs/apps/myAppName/cron.log.
