Filebot works from SSH but not task scheduler Synology NAS

[Achandab]

For testing purposes just running "filebot -script fn:amc" in SSH works fine, can see the java process running in process manager
Set a task to run in task scheduler and doesn't work. No java process is launching.

I have entred the full path to java in the filebot.sh file just to see if that makes a difference but it did not. This was working fine prior to updating to the latest version of Java 8 and Filebot 4.5.

Any suggestions?

The notes on this page should help:

First step is to redirect output (including error output!!!) to see what's going on.

Most likely the error output will say "java: command not found", as explained here:

Running commands from the login shell is not the same as using Synology DSM Task Scheduler or cron because they'll not initialise with ~/.profile so PATH may be different.

thanks RN

Checked volume1 and the path doesn't seem to exist.

The PATH is a variable, not a file:

Also .profile / .bash_rc / etc are hidden files "." so you wouldn't see them anyway on this screenshot.



Besides:

So what's the output?

I'm a linux dummy. Can you advise how to redirect output?

yes output is as follows "/usr/syno/bin/filebot: line 36: java: not found"

you are right, but i have put the full path to java in the filbot.sh file. is there something else?

[Achandab]

nevermind!!!!

issue was i was pointing to the old version of filebot.sh not the new one that is installed in the appstore.

thanks RN!
