Problem when using cron to auto-send statistics reports

Post by dwg »

Does this problem ring a bell for anyone? It is probably an OS problem more than an OTRS problem but any help would be welcomed. Thanks!

In order to auto-send a scheduled statistics report, I am following the method used in this post: http://forums.otrs.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=9829

It works great except that an error ticket is generated each time an email is sent.

My crontab entry looks like this and sends every day at 4:00pm:
00 16 * * * $HOME/bin/otrs.GenerateStats.pl -n 10017 -f Print -r email@domain.com-m 'Report Description' >> /dev/null

At 4:00pm I receive an email with the PDF report (GREAT!) but also notice that a new ticket is created in OTRS showing an error from running the otrs.GenerateStats.pl comand (Confusing!)

The contents of the new error ticket are pasted below.

If I run the following otrs.GenerateStats.pl command manually as otrs user the email sends successfully and no ticket is created. I do, however, see the same messages in the console that are used to generate the ticket.
Manual command: $HOME/bin/otrs.GenerateStats.pl -n 10017 -f Print -r email@domain.com-m 'Report Description'

Here are the contents of the ticket that is created each time the above command is run by cron:
Ticket Subject: Cron <otrs@lsshd01> $HOME/bin/otrs.GenerateStats.pl -n 10018[...]

Re: Problem when using cron to auto-send statistics reports

Post by crythias »

It's something that's known (?) but I don't think there's an adequate solution. HOWEVER, if you're getting a ticket, it's because cron bounces notifications to your otrs box. In *one* of your otrs/var/cron/files (probably the one closest to the beginning of the alphabet) add

MAILTO=someaddress@thatmightgetanemail.com
or
MAILTO=""

and restart cron:
otrs/bin/Cron.sh restart otrs

Info that OTRS knows about the errors:
http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/14579/14/
OTRS 6.0.x (private/testing/public) on Linux with MySQL database.

Thank you! MAILTO="" worked like magic.

Hi,

I filed a bug report for it:
see also http://bugs.otrs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9057

if you remove the '-w' from the first line of bin/otrs.GenerateStats.pl the warnings will disappear.

We applied this fix to the upcoming versions of OTRS (3.1.13 and 3.2.0rc1).
