cron fwm logexport incomplete

[moonunit]

for some reason on splat cron fwm logexport won't make a full file. Doesn't write any error to var/log/messages or /var/log/cron. Any troubleshooting ideas?

commandline works fine - creates a full file=789MB

command:
/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/bin/fwm logexport -n -i /var/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/log/2007-06-21_235900.log -o /var/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/log/2007-06-21.log

Starting... There are 3911606 log records in the file


same command in script called from cron script creates only partial file=170MB

cron:
00 30 * * * /usr/local/bin/log.export

script:
#!/bin/sh
. /opt/CPshrd-R62/tmp/.CPprofile.sh

/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/bin/fwm logexport -n -i /var/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/log/2007-06-21_235900.log -o /var/opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/log/2007-06-21.log

Try using /bin/bash as your shell and /etc/bashrc to set your environment variables...

Thanks, I figured it out. It was something else.

To cron fwm logexport you need to make sure to send console messages somewhere. Otherwise all the "Processed 1930000 out of 3855499 records (50%)" messages make the job die.

e.g.
cron:
10 00 * * * /usr/local/bin/exportlog.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

exportlog.sh:
#!/bin/sh
. /opt/CPshrd-R62/tmp/.CPprofile.sh

$FWDIR/bin/fwm logexport -n -i $FWDIR/log/2007-06-24_235900.log -o $FWDIR/log/2007-06-24.log
