Re^2: Log4perl script logs OK only initially

OK, so I take the example from the Schedule::Cron manpage and modify it with config settings as in the Log4perl manpage, as below, and it logs nothing at all, and the script dies.


my $log_method = sub {
      my ($level,$msg) = @_;
      my $DBG_MAP = { 0 => $INFO, 1 => $WARN, 2 => $ERROR };
        my $conf = q(
                log4perl.category.appname  = INFO, Logfile
                log4perl.appender.Logfile          = Log::Log4perl::Ap
+pender::File
                log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = /usr/local/eFTP/l
+ogs/appname.pl.log
                log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout = \
                Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
                log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %
+d %F{1} %L> %m %n
        );

        Log::Log4perl::init(\$conf);

      my $logger = Log::Log4Perl->get_logger("appname");
      $logger->log($DBG_MAP->{$level},$msg);
};

and modify the cron job to reflect that:

my $cron = new Schedule::Cron(\&dispatcher,
                                nofork => 1,
                                #log => \&Log,
                                log => $log_method,
                                );
$cron->add_entry("* * * * *",
                 {'subroutine' => \&TestSub(),
                  'arguments' => [ "INFO", "a test" ],
                  }
                );
[download]

I also removed the call to my Log(..) subroutine in TestSub, since it's redefined and used here in $log_method.

Again, now there's nothing logged to the file at all. The file /tmp/testfile is updated, so I know TestSub ran, but nothing updated in appname.pl.log, and no Schedule::Cron process in the process table after a couple minutes.

Is there something I'm not setting the Schedule::Cron object? What else could be causing not to log at all, much less quit?

I got this working by doing the following: 1. specifying the arguments in the add_entry line, e.g. `$cron->add_entry("0 5 * * *", {'subroutine' => \&TestSub, 'arguments' => [ ], } );` [download] 2. Reverting back to a "Log" subroutine, since for some reason, the $log_method wasn't working for me. -- Burvil	[reply] [d/l]
