mazalMorning all I haven't seen yet07:55
mazalI'm struggling to understand something07:55
mazalIf I run an app in terminal , it runs fines07:55
mazalIf I run in in terminal with gnome-terminal -e command , then the resulting terminal that opens says it can't find the app07:56
mazalIs it something to do with paths ? 07:57
Kilosnot permissions?07:57
Kiloswhat app is it?07:57
mazalIf it was permissions in won't work if I run it just as is07:57
Kiloswhat happens when you type the app name in dash07:58
mazalIs just when I add the gnome-terminal -e command in front that it can't find it ( I add that in front to open it in a new terminal )07:58
mazalSo I am puzzled , if it was paths , then it should also not work without the gnome-terminal part ?07:59
Kiloseish07:59
mazalI even tried now sommer with s cript I quickly created , same problem08:04
mazalgnome-terminal -e open the new terminal , but then that terminal reports that it can't fine the file08:05
Kilosso its the open new terminal add in that stops it working08:08
mazalYep , saying it can't find the file. I'm playing now with full paths to see. Maybe second terminal don't know what folder I am standing in08:09
Kilosif its important then just ctrl+alt+t and put your command in that new terminal you opened08:09
Kiloshi Spekko  08:13
mazalAh , adding full paths works. Hmm interesting , so the second terminal doesn't see in what folder I am standing08:15
mazalOom Kilos , eventually this must happen via crontab08:16
mazalBasically what I want , when cron runs one of my scripts I want a terminal to pup up and show me what's it doing08:17
Kiloseish 08:17
Kilosyou and crontab08:17
mazalMy cron is sharp now :)08:17
Kiloslol08:17
mazalNow I just want to see what happens when it happens. Not very important this part , just something I would like to get right08:18
mazalaaaand it doesn't work with cron :( Back to drawing board08:19
mazalAg nee hy wil niks weetie08:26
mazalI can never get why some command don't work in cron but works manually in terminal08:27
Kilosmaybe one of the clever guys can help08:29
ThatGraemeGuyyou can't make cron pop up a terminal08:32
ThatGraemeGuyyou can log its output to file or have it email you08:32
mazalOk kewl08:35
mazalIs not very important , would have been nice though08:35
inetprogood mornings09:43

mazalThatGraemeGuy, I was away a bit , so cron can runs scripts , but can't open apps ? Isn't gnome-terminal an app ?11:00
ThatGraemeGuyok maybe "can't" isn't the right term. how about "nooooo, don't do that, whyyyy??!!"11:03
ThatGraemeGuy:-p11:04
inetproai!11:04
mazalJust trying to understand it11:04
inetpro06/08 10:59:50 <charl> mazal: no 2>&1 appends stderr to stdout11:04
inetpro06/08 10:59:59 <charl> mazal: then you still need >> to append to a log file11:04
mazalinetpro, I wanted to see in real time , I know the logs way11:05
ThatGraemeGuymazal: yeah and i'm trying to understand why you repeatedly disregard our advice to log output to a log file like we said a dozen times11:05
inetprotail -f logfile11:05
mazalWho said I am not logging output ?11:05
ThatGraemeGuythis is how we, the people that do this stuff for money, do it11:05
ThatGraemeGuymeh, ok then read the output11:06
ThatGraemeGuytail the log for that real-time feeling11:06
mazalAll I said , I wanted to see in real time when it runs , as it was interesting thought to me11:06
mazalThen you said I can't11:06
inetpromazal: man tail11:06
mazalThen I just asked why so that I can understand it11:06
ThatGraemeGuywatch -n 1 "ps -ef|grep scriptname"11:06
ThatGraemeGuythere you can see in realtime when it runs11:06
mazalStop jumping on me every time I just ask something11:06
ThatGraemeGuyheh11:07
ThatGraemeGuycool11:07
