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. 2 Likes |

whytey: 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. |

airsaylongcome: Bro... the guy above me said $400 What i feel is, it simply means they don't understand the task. |

chris4gold:How much you gonn pay,,,,,, in dollars only |
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by chris4gold(m): 9:07am On May 14, 2023 |
Thanks, All @niel36 has executed it for me. |
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by airsaylongcome: 10:06am On May 14, 2023 |
niel63: 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. 1 Like |

Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by airsaylongcome: 2:51pm On May 14, 2023 |
Deicide: 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 |
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by Deicide: 3:15pm On May 14, 2023 |
airsaylongcome: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. |
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by airsaylongcome: 4:00pm On May 14, 2023 |
Deicide: That <path_to_script> is the core of the task. But okay. It's easy. |
Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by airsaylongcome: 4:02pm On May 14, 2023 |
niel63: Document too?! You try o. I have to learn that level of meticulousness. 1 Like |

Re: Cronjob Script Writer Needed ASAP by airsaylongcome: 4:43pm On May 14, 2023 |
