Python + crontab

[paulfox]

Hi All,
I've written a program which is in /home/fox/log.py, and i want to execute it at 10:30 am.
The program checks some system statistics like uptime, and creates a log file called system.log, in the directory where the log.py file is.
in my crontab (crontab -e), i have:

30 10 * * * /home/fox/log.py

the python code is executed ok, but the log file isn't created. (it is if i execute it manually though).

Any ideas how to get it working? i've tried writing a bash script:

#!/usr/bin/python /home/fox/log.py

setting it executable, and running that from cron. but i get the same results.

help please! :)

thanks for reading.

I think that the python code uses relative path for the log file and you are unable to locate it. It should work otherwise.

To clarify what he said, if you're using a relative path for the script output, it's not being output where you think it is.
