I have installed Scalr 2.2 locally to manage my Eucalyptus cluster.
In following the installation guide for cron tasks, I noticed that
several of the tasks are not supported by the scalr cron.php
executable. For example, the first listed cron task is:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/scalr/app/cron/cron.php --Poller

However, which I run the above command from a shell, it gives me this:


$ /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/scalr/app/cron/cron.php --Poller
Usage: /var/www/scalr/app/cron/cron.php [job] [--help] [--debug]

Where job is one of the following options:
--BundleTasksManager Bundle tasks manager
--Cleaner Clean garbage from garbage queue
--DBQueueEvent Process events queue
--DNSManagerPoll DNS zone manager process (poll method)
--EBSManager EC2 EBS Manager
--HealthCheck HealthCheck process
--MessagingQueue Manage messages queues
--MySQLMaintenance Maintenance mysql role on farms
--RDSMaintenance RDS Maintenance (RDS Auto snapshots)
--RolesQueue Roles queue
--RotateLogs Rotate logs table
--Scheduler Schedule manager
--UsageStatsPoller Farm usage stats poller
--piddir <string> PID directory


It appears that either the installation guide is out of date or
incorrect, or that I need a different version of Scalr.

Has anyone else seen this? I assume that my Sclar install won't work
correctly until all the cron jobs are running as scheduled...

Hi Doug,

Correct cronjobs configuration specified here: http://wiki.scalr.net/Installing_Scalr

Thanks for the quick response, Igor!  I don't know where I got that other set of cron tasks, but stuff is starting to work now :)
