    <p>I asked a similar question over here:(<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1495604/upload-clocking-script">Upload clocking script</a>), but then changed it and realized it's a different question now.</p> <p>I want to make a script called uploadtimer.sh which uploads files to various hosts and then notes the time the upload takes in a log file. Thanks to those who have helped me, I have a partial solution but I'm stuck:</p> <p>I used this as a crontab (testing it for the first ten minutes after 11 am)</p> <pre><code>1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 11 * * * /usr/bin/time -a /usr/local/apache/sites/$MYEMPLOYER/upload_test/output.log /usr/local/apache/sites/$MYEMPLOYER/upload_test/uploadtimer.sh </code></pre> <p>upload_test/ has these files in it:</p> <p>upload_test/output.log upload_test/uploadtest.gif upload_test/uploadtimer.sh</p> <p>output.log is a text file that I renamed as a .log file. It's blank. Before I put it there, I was getting messages that said "this file doesn't exist". I thought it'd create one for me but I guess not. After I created it, it kept saying in the crontab mails that I couldn't write to it until I changed its permissions, so I did.</p> <p>uploadtest.gif is a gif</p> <p>uploadtimer.sh is this:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh HOST='--myhost--' USER='--login--' PASSWD='--password--' FILE='uploadtest.gif' ftp -n $HOST &lt;&lt;END_SCRIPT quote USER $USER quote PASS $PASSWD put $FILE quit END_SCRIPT exit 0 </code></pre> <p>The message that cron sends to me is:</p> <pre><code>0.00user 0.00system 0:00.02elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+253minor)pagefaults 0swaps </code></pre> <p>But no ftp has taken place and nothing it written in output.log.</p>

    2. CODoes the "/usr/bin/time -a ... uploadtimer.sh" command work by itself at the shell? If so, then the issue might involve the way cron is set up. The scripts themselves are okay - maybe you should accept one of the answers here and post a new question about cron... (more people will see the new question about cron, but not come back to this one)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
