Error in Cron after upgrading GAMAdv #210

Closed angelocabrera closed 2 years ago

angelocabrera commented 3 years ago

I have a shell script which made calls to gam commands. This script has execution permissions and I can run it in the terminal without problems. I also have this script in my crontab (all with the same linux user) and it was running ok, but after an upgrade that I did to GAMAdv, the cron fails giving me permissions errors.

For instance, if I run my script to send a chat message it works: user@procesos-cron:~$ /home/user/gam_batch.sh test OPCION: test Chat Space: spaces/xxx, Chat Thread: spaces/xxx/threads/ULQi2tTA8q0, Chat Message: spaces/xxx/messages/ULQi2tTA8q0.ULQi2tTA8q0, Created

But when the same command runs in cron, I get this error:

Chat Space: spaces/xxx, Create Failed: The caller does not have permission

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

The same user that I use to run it from the terminal is the same in the cron, and I also check that both the script and the GAM command have execution permissions. I also use full paths in the script.

In the shell do: env Is there a line like this? Your details will vary.

GAMCFGDIR=/home/user/.gam

In gam_batch.sh add the following line with value from line above.

export GAMCFGDIR="/home/user/.gam"

How do you specify the GAM executable in gam_batch.sh?
