Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by chris4gold(m): 5:05pm On May 13, 2023
I need someone with Linus experience to help solve this...

"Write a shell script that executes every 10 minutes. The script should ping the IP address of a remote system and save the output in a file that gets automatically sent to your personal email as an attachment. This task can only be completed on a Linux host system. It requires you to investigate how to schedule a cronjob"

Please reply if you can do it.

The way some of you make your pitch ehn. What does being a pentester "in Canada" have to do with writing a simple bash script to ping a host and setting it up to run as a cronjob every 10 minutes have to do with Pentesting now? Like seriously.

They don't even know the task, let alone understand it. Bidding $400 for a task that shouldn't take more than one hour for someone who isn't sharp with their bash and cronjob skill but knows what the person is asking for. Pátápátá two hours of you say you want to double confirm that the emailing works.

It took me a bit more than 2 hours though cos I needed to install and configure mutt for the mail part and dinner cheesy man gats chop and relax small... you know as mac dey do with homebrew sometimes with their yeye updates... I kukuma disable the update patapata grin

However, you're not wrong as I'd have competed it in highest time of 1hr (both testing and ensuring it works)

You know your trade bro.

This is very easy

*/10 * * * * <path_to_script>


Also make sure the script is executable

Normally I use systemd timers for stuff I wan to be done automatically.

This is just the cronjob part which is not 100% correct. You still have to write the bash script to ping the remote host, write the output to a file and email that file. So not as easy as you think

Didn't you see the part I say <path_to_script>

It is still easy. The only difficult part I see here which is not even difficult is deciding which terminal email client to use.
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by niel63(m): 3:51pm On May 14, 2023
Yeah... I also had to document it ooo...

Yeah it's easy quite alright. But then, no be everybody sabi am.

That <path_to_script> is the core of the task. But okay. It's easy.
