It runs by hand when I execute:
python /var/lib/mongodb/script.py >> /var/lib/mongodb/script.log 2>&1
But using cronjob, I see that script is executed but no output in /var/lib/mongodb/script.log
sudo -u mongodb crontab -l
* * * * * python /var/lib/mongodb/script.py >> /var/lib/mongodb/script.log 2>&1
on /var/log/syslog I see that cron is executed but no output in /var/lib/mongodb/script.log and the script.py is not running.
Update:
I tried with a test.py script and is working:
root@jessie:~# ls -al /var/lib/mongodb/test.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184 May 10 13:49 /var/lib/mongodb/test.py
root@jessie:~# sudo -u mongodb crontab -e
* * * * * python /var/lib/mongodb/test.py >> /var/lib/mongodb/test.log 2>&1
May 10 14:02:01 jessie CRON[1889]: (mongodb) CMD (python /var/lib/mongodb/test.py >> /var/lib/mongodb/test.log 2>&1)
root@jessie:~# ls -al /var/lib/mongodb/test.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 mongodb nogroup 1792 May 10 14:04 /var/lib/mongodb/test.log
The test.py script contains:
print "Hello World!"
print "Hello Again"
print "I like typing this."
print "This is fun."
print 'Yay! Printing.'
