I'm a newbie to setup a Cron jobs.

i have a prefix directory for my application python on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka and i already to new environment for my application python as PYTHONPATH=$prefix/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka:$prefix/bin/prewikka-httpd

i already a database MySQL manually :

mysql> DESC Prewikka_Crontab;

10 rows in set (0.00 sec)

if i launch prewikka-crontab, no output appears. when i launch prewikka-httpd, i always get the output :

...

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/history.py", line 102, in <module>

    crontab.schedule("search_history", N_("Search history deletion"), "0 * * * *", _regfunc=history._history_cron, enabled=True)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/crontab.py", line 240, in schedule

    self._init_system_job(ext_type, name, schedule, enabled, _regfunc)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/database.py", line 91, in inner

    ret = func(self, *args, **kwargs)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/crontab.py", line 154, in _init_system_job

    self.add(name, schedule, ext_type=ext_type, enabled=enabled)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/crontab.py", line 219, in add

    return self.update(None, name=name, schedule=schedule, user=user, ext_type=ext_type, ext_id=ext_id, enabled=enabled)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/crontab.py", line 209, in update

    return env.db.getLastInsertIdent()

RuntimeError: could not retrieve last insert ID

cause i don't have a event scheduler for my client to server side, how i can getting started it with Cron jobs?

Thanks in advance.

i figure it out on this link. a based of the Remove Heartbeats section on that link.

Step #1 make a .sh script :

#!/bin/sh



set -e



DB_TYPE="mysql" 

DB_HOST="localhost" 

DB_USER="xxxxxx" 

DB_PASS="xxxxxx" 



KEEP_INTERVAL="2 month" 



DATE=$(date -d "now - $KEEP_INTERVAL" +%Y-%m-%d)



preludedb-admin delete heartbeat --criteria "heartbeat.create_time <= $DATE" "type=$DB_TYPE host=$DB_HOST user=$DB_USER pass=$DB_PASS"

and make .sh as executable.

Step #2 make a cron job

sudo crontab -e

add a event scheduler,

*/2 * * * * /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prewikka/crontab.py

*/2 * * * * /path/to/sripts/prewikka.sh

restart using sudo init 6.

Hope this helps.
