Running Cron job on Amazon Instance with Bitnami
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a python file programmed that makes an automatic backup of my Amazon instance.
In this instance I have Mautic Bitnami installed.
I have tried to run the file from the next line, directly in the terminal and it works correctly.
python3 /home/bitnami/aws/snapshot_script.py --volume-ids = vol-07701xxxxxxxxxx --expiry-days = 7
(Create a backup that expires in 7 days.)
This is how the snapshot_script.py file begins:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
The problem starts when I want to execute the line of code in a cron job, it does not work.
I have tried many things without getting results, for example:
- Change
pythonto/usr/bin/python3
- Change
pythonto//usr/bin/env python3
- Use
your bitnami -swhen starting the cron
sudo crontab -lto see if it is executed (yes it does)
sudo adduser bitnami daemonrecommended on the web
Copy the structure of the other crons:
/5 * * * * su daemon -s /bin/sh -c "/opt/bitnami/php/bin/php -q /opt/bitnami/apps/mautic/htdocs/app/console mautic:segments:update" #mautic-segments-cron
the results of locate python are:
/usr/bin/python3.5
/usr/bin/python3.5m
/usr/lib/python2.7
/usr/lib/python3.5
/etc/python3.5
/usr/local/lib/python3.5
/usr/include/python3.5m
/usr/share/
How should I proceed?

If you want to run a cron job as a specific user, then rather than using root's crontab (sudo crontab ...) and jumping through hoops withsuand shells, I'd suggest using the system-wide crontab file/etc/crontab(or a custom file in/etc/cron.d) where you can specify the username directly as an additional field after the time spec.

Hello, Thank you very much for your help. When you install the cronjob in "/etc/crontab" everything works correctly. I really appreciate your help.
