I am in a dilemma and I am not quite sure where to start.
Let me know if you need more information.
I want to run a cronjob that occurs every weekday at 8:01 in the morning. I think I have that correct:
1 8 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /path/to/script <--(.php or .sh).
So actually creating the cronjob doesn't seem to be the issue. It's the data I want to pull. I basically need this information in text to be sent out in an email at 8:01.
- Ping a website and to see if its up and running, if it is, then echo "website is up"
- Ping the Database to see if its up and running, if it is, then echo "database is up"
- I need the details when I “ls –ltr” under the directory "LOG" and maybe somehow provide an error message if the newly modified date on certain logs doesn’t equal the current date.
- I need any error message from when I run “ff -s error -i -t .log” to be printed in the email, and if there are no errors, specify there were no errors.
- I need to run ‘ls –ltr” in the directory "AV", and provide an error message if the last modified date on the zip file doesn’t equal the current date (similar to the LOG)
- I need to run a SQL Statement (A Select Count) on a few things, and I would need that data to be in it.
This seems all very feasible to me, I just need to know the foundation on starting the script.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on a good starting point? Or even references to look upon?
