For some reason my cronjob is not working:
4 20 * * * /home/ubuntu/db_backup/myScript.sh 1 > /home/ubuntu/db_backup/cron_log.txt
And my bash script looks like this:
#! /bin/bash
mysqldump -h anotherhost -P 3306 -u usen -pmypass --all-databases > $1.sql
java -jar myJar.jar param1 $1.sql
So the jar file takes in 2 parameters, the first one i want always to be the same, the second one comes from the first bash parameter. Inside /var/spool/mail/ubuntu I see this error:
Unable to access jarfile myJar.jar
I set the crontab up under user: ubuntu
owner and group of the jar file is ubuntu and it has octal permissions of 700.
What am I doing wrong?
