crontab not working in Mac OS #87

Closed saikee closed 3 years ago

saikee commented 4 years ago

First of all, thank you for providing such good software.

I'm new. Installed for Mac OS, 10.15.

(1) Found out the start up script doesn't work for Mac, and found the fix from https://github.com/IbcAlpha/IBC/blob/master/resources/scripts/ibcstart.sh Wish the maintainer can embed the bug fix into next release.

(2) Found out the ./twsstartmacos.sh doesn't work, must be ./twsstartmacos.sh -inline

(3) After tested manual startup with the script, OK; stop also OK. Using absolute path, setup the "twsstartmacos.sh -inline" in crontab, it failed, following is the log file:

Where, the CommandServer fault is not an issue. The issue seems come from the RenderJob.run: internal exception java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0

at the end.

Anyone had similar experience and know the tricks ?

[In future, it's preferable to attach logfiles rather than quote them inline.]

(1) I apologise that I haven't got round to doing a release with the macOS script fix in it yet. I'll try to do it soon.

(2) More information please. I don't have access to a Mac, so I need hard evidence of what's happening.

(3) There was a thread in the IBC User Group a few years back, where one of the members did a pretty thorough job of getting IBC working automatically. It seems that crontab is not the way to go on macOS, rather use Launch Agents and launchd. Below is a link to the first message in that thread that discusses use of launchd, and there's a whole lot more after that. I hope they will help you. Note that this thread is from before IBC was forked from IBController, but the issues are presumably the same.

Apologize for asking question with lengthy text instead of upload log file.

(1) Thank you !

(2) I made the file as ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2a/twsstartmacos.sh If I execute it from command line as ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2a/twsstartmacos.sh

 It will fire up another terminal window to run "/opt/ibc/twsstartmacos.sh -inline"

 ended up with below output
 zsh: no such file or directory: /opt/ibc/twsstartmacos.sh

 That is true because I did not install it under /opt/ibc

 Actually, I want to run 4 instances of TWS, therefore, I made
 ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2a/twsstartmacos.sh
 ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2b/twsstartmacos.sh
 ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2c/twsstartmacos.sh
 ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2d/twsstartmacos.sh

 If I execute it from command line as
 ~/Applications/IBCMacos-3.8.2a/twsstartmacos.sh -inline

 everything just fine.

(3) Will take a look and configure it. Many thanks !
