Hello, I am trying to figure out how to run the cleanup scripts in a cron job. The below works on command line:
python scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py config/galaxy.ini -d 30 -1 -i pysqlite>=2 egg successfully loaded for sqlite dialect ##########################################
# 2014-11-19 22:07:32 - Handling stuff older than 30 days # Displaying info only ( --info_only )
Deleted 0 histories Elapsed time: 0.0684289932251 ##########################################
but if I try to do this in a cron job as follows:
55 21 * * * python scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py config/galaxy.ini -d 30 -1 -i >> /media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/temp 2>&1
python: can't open file 'scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
or if I try to do this :
00 22 * * * python /media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py config/galaxy.ini -d 30 -1 -i >> /media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/temp 2>&1
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py", line 13, in <module> from galaxy import eggs ImportError: No module named galaxy
Note that I am directing the output to a file only to try to find out why it's not working.
Is this a problem with environment?
Any suggestions what to try would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Try this :
55 21 * * * cd /media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/ && python scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py config/galaxy.ini -d 30 -1 -i >> /media/Store/galaxy/galaxy-dist/temp 2>&1
I thought you need to be in the galaxy-dist folder when launching the commands.
Best,
Geert
