zimbra, java and cron

[johnsonpeter]

Hi,
I've been struggling with this all day and it seems like a problem that someone must have already solved.

I have a java program that updates zimbra based on data in an oracle database. It executes just fine at the command line and in in a bash shell script.

When I call the script from cron it fails with the following error, although a simple java program in the same script will execute just fine.:
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x0638e976, pid=10301, tid=3086879648
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (10.0-b22 mixed mode linux-x86)
# Problematic frame:
# V [libjvm.so+0x38e976]
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /home/oracle/zimbra/hs_err_pid10301.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:

Here is the script:
:

cd ~oracle/zimbra

export ORACLE_SID=prod
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv

export ORAHOME=/oracle
export PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/oracle/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/lib:/opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/i386/server/

# set the classpath var.

How do you call a java program that accesses zimbra from cron?

[padraig]

i tend to use:

su - zimbra -c 'some_command'
e.g.
su - zimbra -c ' tomcat restart'

[Baylink]

Programs executed from cron have *no environment at all*; this is a common problem, Java or otherwise.

Try setting TERM in your wrapper script, just for grins and giggles.
