Jobber Notify Program

[Huang Weiqi]

Hi Dylan,

Thank you for writing Jobber. It has been a great help in my project, being a cleaner and better version of cron.

I have been using the notifyProgram function of Jobber, but I am having some difficulties reading the the JSON document from the stdin and I can't really figure out why. I searched around but still couldn't find any answers and hope you can help out.

I use notifyProgram to execute a simple bash script as follows:

#!/bin/bash

VALUE=$(cat)

cd <to directory>

python3 some_python_script.py "$VALUE"

where I attempt to read the file from stdin, and then pass it as a argv to my python_script.

May I know if I am handling the stdin wrongly? What does it mean when you say that you will "write to stdin a JSON document .. "? 

Thank you for your help in advance. :)

Hi Weiqi,

Apologies for the delay.

I suspect that the quotes in the JSON are causing problems when you pass it to the Python script.  Maybe you should try using the Python script itself as the notify script, after modifying it to read from stdin rather than from argv.

Best,

Dylan
