Hi Guys,

Huge welldone and thanks to the open-audit team, has made me life so much easier.

The only problem I seem to have is below. When I run the osx script as root manually it works fine. When I add it to cron to run weekly, I get the following errors

Cron Daemon root@rr0152.local
1:50 PM (56 minutes ago)

script is located here /var/root/audit_osx.sh with following file premissions

rwxr-x--- 1 root staff 11K 2 Apr 11:47 audit_osx.sh

I can run the script by doing /var/root/audit_osx.sh but fails if it's in a crontab


RR0152:~ root# crontab -l
MAILTO="macadmin@*.com"

50 13 * * * /var/root/audit_osx.sh

machine is a mac mini running 10.9 aka mavericks. The audit is showing up as running under the device in the web interface.
59 - audit 2014-04-07 14:49:06 192.168.10.127 2014-04-07 14:48:27



I have also tried this on couple of other machines and get the same error.

I don't use MacOS or Linux much but from your crontab entry it looks like you're using a user crontab entry. So I would say that whatever user you're running the task under doesn't have access to all the commands which give you errors.

I very much doubt it, I logged in as root and run command then run crontab -e as root.

Maybe something up with $PATH when run from cron?

If I run the command from command line
e.g system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep "Serial Number (system):" | cut -d":" -f2 | sed 's/^ *//g'`
It works fine giving me the result I expected. I tried to move it to a normal user and run again as cronjob, same error. I changed the system_profiler to have the full path e.g /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep "Serial Number (system):" | cut -d":" -f2 | sed 's/^ *//g'` but still get the same error? any one got any ideas as I'm stuck!

Looks to me like a permission error - but from what you said that "shouldn't" be the case.
Anyone more familiar with OSX than me? (I'm not very).

I've not run it using cron - I'll make a note to myself to test it.

Found the problem and fixed it.

When run as root it can find system_profiler but when run as crontab it can't, so You can either change all the lines to be /usr/sbin/system_profiler "not sure if same location on all osx versions, it is on 10.9.2 and 10.7.5

or I added "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin" to start of script, works fine now.
