Sitemap Generator Forum

Hello,
i´m running a daily cronjob for generating our sitemap. The output of the cronjob is following:

Resuming the last session (last updated: 1970-01-01 00:00:00)

..... continues for a lot more rows ......
<br />Done, redirecting to sitemap view page.
<script>
top.location = 'index.php?op=view'
</script>

The sitemap is generated successfully. Unfortunately our server is configured, that always, when the cronjob-script outputs text, i get a notification email. Because of the output i receive this emails every day.

My question is: Is it possible to disable this status-messages for the cronjob-file and limit the output to error messages?

Best regards,
Otto

Hello,

please try to change the command line used for cron job from:
/usr/bin/php /path/to/generator/runcrawl.php
to:
/usr/bin/php /path/to/generator/runcrawl.php >/dev/null

If i´m understanding ">/dev/null" right, then all output-messages are thrown away? Any possibility to force error-messages to be shown?

I will try your example. I anyway can verify if the sitemap.xml was generated successfully via filedate and -size.

Thank you for your hint.

Best regards,
Otto

That will redirect all standard output of the script. If there is a problem running the script, it's sent to error output stream, and normally should be emailed.

Thank you very much. Working like a charme

Best regards,
Otto
