Grant, here is a little example on how to use IC Cron Jobs:
#Put the following lines in catalog.cfg:
Jobs base_directory etc
Jobs log logs/cron.log
Jobs email listbox at email.com (if you want any output from the cronjob be
sent to you by email)
Create a directory in the catalog directory: etc/mycronjobs
and put a file or files containing valid ITL in it.
As root:
su -f -c '/usr/local/interchange-4.9.8/bin/interchange
--runjobs=found498=mycronjobs' interch
As interchange user:
/usr/local/interchange-4.9.8/bin/interchange --runjobs=found498=mycronjobs
Doing so all files in the etc/mycronjobs directory will be executed.
Please note:
Catalog name in this example is: found498
Interchange install directory in this example is: /usr/local/interchange-4.9.8
Good luck !
Best regards,
Ton
