cron job for redis-cli commands

[chilumb...@gmail.com]

I have a cron job set to run every minute by executing a script with the following redis-cli command:

# !/user/bin/
redis-cli info clients >> /tmp/outout

All the file permissions are correct. But i cannot get any output.

How can i schedule redid-cli commands using a cron job?

In theory that should work.
If it doesn't you may hit a problem, which in turn might be written to
stderr.
So either you get mails from that cronjob with the output or you need to
save the output otherwise.

Does that command work for you when executed manually?

Yes, it works when i execute the command in the terminal directly.

But also when i try other linux commands in the same script e.g, ls -l, they work just fine. Or even the commands "echo" and also "date".

So not sure why the redid-cli commands won't work. About saving the output, it is being redirected to a file. The permissions for that file are ok with all users allowed to write to it.

You only redirect stdout of that redis-cli call.
Redirect stdout AND stderr of the cronjob to a file (or make sure your
cron is able to send that output via email)

I am redirecting to both now, and the output is:

/bin/rediscon: 2: /bin/rediscon: redis-cli: not found

Would moving the script in the redis folder where the redis-cli resides help?

Why not install redis-cli on the server (or just copy it /usr/local/bin)?

Its working now.

Instead of creating a new script, i must use the redis-cli script

Thanks :)
