How/Where to setup staticsync cron job?

[Alan Pater]

I am running Ubuntu Linux and need to know exactly how to setup the staticsync cron job.

Can someone with it working share their exact configuration?

[Alan Pater]

I can share what I tried, and what does NOT work is creating a file in /etc/cron.d with the following:

# run staticsync every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * *  www-data php5 /usr/share/nginx/html/resourcespace/pages/tools/staticsync.php

Hi Alan

You need to create a script that does a cd to the tools folder, and then runs static sync .. i.e.

cd /usr/share/nginx/html/resourcespace/pages/tools/

php5 staticsync.php

And then call that script from cron.

I hope that helps.

Regards

David

Ok, I have created /etc/cron.hourly/RSstaticsync.sh

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/nginx/html/resourcespace/pages/tools/
php5 staticsync.php

And: sudo chmod 755 /etc/cron.hourly/RSstaticsync.sh

But no go. Nothing in the designated folder gets into RS.

Are there any error messages that result from running the script manually?

You've probably already looked at this page (or something similar), but it's a good reference:

No error when running it manually:

user@resourcespace:/usr/share/nginx/html/resourcespace/pages/tools$ sudo php5 staticsync.php
Preloading data......done. Looking for changes...Processing Folder: /home/user/DAM
Processing file: /home/user/DAM/DwC-SampleImage_1024x768.jpg
Processing file: /home/user/DAM/2004_300x300.jpg
Processing file: /home/user/DAM/habla_160x160.jpg
Processing file: /home/user/DAM/2010_140x140.jpg
...done.
Looking for deleted files......Complete

But not exactly desirable results either. No thumbnails are created in RS, and if I manually run staticsync.php again, it duplicates every file.

Can you post your staticsync configuration?
