I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible that cron isn't always
running. Typing the command ps aux | grep crond
returns:
rpoland 23030 0.0 0.0 18644 100 std R+ 2:14PM 0:00.00 grep crond
Which I have no idea what it means.
By popular demand I'll try to write the offending script details;
in CronniX (user rpoland)
40 6 * * * "/Library/Scripts/Universal Scripts/SetSoundVolume"
5 21 * * * "/Library/Scripts/Universal Scripts/SetSoundVolume"
tell application "System Events" to set procs to name of every process
set sysID to do shell script "system_profiler SPNetworkDataType | awk
'/Ethernet Address/ { print $3 }'"
set myPath to path to me
set myPrefs to "AwakeTimes"
-- Typical data "Wake_Up_Time,6:02 AM,Sleep_Time,8:58 PM"
set oldDelim to ""
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
read file ((myPath as string) & myPrefs)
set myData to result
set WakeUpTime to text item 2 of myData
set SleepTime to text item 4 of myData
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelim
snip...
Failure seems to occur in the second line when called automatically
by cron. If I run manually from CronniX it runs correctly.
Tia,
