Resolved Scheduled Task Result Output to File

[Anthony Brian Mallgren]

Is there anyway to output the result of a scheduled task to a file? GoDaddy support is asking for it to be output to a file.

 

[IgorG]

Just use > redirection output to file in command of scheduled task.

Dear Igor,

I face an issue.

Schedule a Task / Run a command /

wget https://xxxxx/list.json -O /wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json

reports an error : No such file or directory

The same error occurs with /var/www/vhosts/unidivers.fr/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json

Have you a fix ?

Thanks you,

Regards

Hi @NicolasUni . Please try
wget <source URL> -P <fully qualified directory path> -O <output filename>
for example
wget https://xxxxx/list.json -P /var/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files -O attendee.json

 

[NicolasUni]

Hello dear Peter, I thank you !

 

[NicolasUni]

Dear Peter,

Unfortunatly, this command runs well with ssh but not within task Plesk scheduler…
Is there a way to create a routine by ssh, I mean to schedule a recursive task (like Plesk scheduler…), each day for instance ?

I would appreciate your kind help,

Best regards,

 

[NicolasUni]

Maybe save the command in crontab file ?…

Should it do the job :
# Download data every night at 7:25 pm
25 19 * * * wget https://xxxxx/list.json -P /var/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files -O attendee.json

@NicolasUni this should work if as command in the Plesk scheduler.

wget https://example.com/list.json -P /httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files

Edit: sorry, I just realized also want to rename the file.

 

[Kaspar]

Okay, I think I got it. I Tested this successfully in the Plesk scheduler:
wget -O httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json https://example.com/list.json

 

[NicolasUni]

gosh…

Task "wget -O httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json https://example.com/list.json completed with error in 0 seconds, output:
httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json : No such file or directory

 

[Kaspar]

Are you using the Scheduled Tasks option from the domain? Or from Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks?

 

[NicolasUni]

Website & domains > Site dashboard > Scheduled Tasks

 

[NicolasUni]

Dear Kaspar,

May be

wget -O /var/www/vhosts/MY-SITE/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json https://REMOTE-SITE/list.json

?

 

[Kaspar]

May be

wget -O /var/www/vhosts/MY-SITE/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json https://REMOTE-SITE/list.json

No, if you are running the scheduled task via Website & domains > Site dashboard > Scheduled Tasks then you don't need to include the full path, because the scheduled task runs from the home directory of the domain (system) user. But you can give it a try of course.

For me wget -O httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/attendee.json https://example.com/list.json works, when it test it.

The No such file or directory error indicates an issue with directory. Does the directory files actually exist?

 

[NicolasUni]

Does the directory files actually exist?
Yes, indeed

 

[NicolasUni]

Update…

Task "wget -O httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/list.json https://sssssss.com/list.json" completed with error in 0 seconds, output:

Error :
httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/list.json: Permission denied
…

 

[Kaspar]

Error :
httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files/list.json: Permission denied
…

Does the list.json file already exist in the httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/files directory?

 

[NicolasUni]

Ok, I ve fixed permissions
But, always the same error than before :

Connecting to REMOTE-SERVER.. connected.
ERROR: The certificate of 'exemple.com' is not trusted.
ERROR: The certificate of 'exemple.com' doesn't have a known issuer.

 

[NicolasUni]

But it does work within ssh…
