I've wrote a PHP-Script, and the execution requires sudo permission, because it executes some other system related stuff. So i've added this into the crontab -e but i can't see, that my script is running correctly.

Command:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /srv/www/php/script.php && date > /srv/www/php/mylog.log

The only output is the date. No response from my script. It is executable (chmod a+x) and if i use the same command in the terminal as root, everything is okay. So it's up to crontab -e?

Also i made sure, that my cronjob is running (/var/log/syslog):

Oct 23 16:40:01 $MYMACHINE CRON[13797]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/php /srv/www/php/script.php && date > /srv/www/php/mylog.log)

And this every 5 mins. Also my "mylog.log" always got the latest timestamp, so i guess, there's might be a problem with the script inside.

EDIT: I've created another test script to check, if the scripts getting executed or not. But the script was executed, so it's a problem inside the script.

I am trying to add dynamically IPs to an iptables chain:

#!/bin/bash
value=`cat whitelist.txt`
#echo "$value"

for i in $(echo $value | tr "," "\n")
do
  # process
  /sbin/iptables -I teamspeakCommunication --src $i -j ACCEPT
done

May you can see something weird?

Add it to your /etc/crontab file like this:

*/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/php /srv/www/script.php && date > /srv/www/php/mylog.log

If your script's first line is #!/usr/bin/php and execution permission as well, you can call it directly like any other script, like the ones written in bash, perl, etc...

Best regards!
