updating ingest script to do logs #59
Conversation

If this is to allow Steve Tinney to log from cron I think a much better way for him to do that would be to use |
| echo "ingest complete" | ||
|
|
||
| # Run the ingest script and capture the outcome in journal | ||
| systemd-cat -t cron-ingest python3 -m ingest.bulk_upload |

Ah, this isn't quite what I was meaning. If bulk_upload produces no output then there will be nothing in the log, so no evidence that this script ran at all, since the "Ingest complete" line doesn't go through systemd-cat. If bulk_upload must always produce output then perhaps this isn't a problem.
I was thinking that whoever wanted to run this could prefix by systemd-cat -t cron-ingest and then we wouldn't have to do anything; this is the normal way.

ah
The bulk-upload does provide some output: it writes the name of the file it's about to index and then when it's finished doing so, does that improve its use?
closes #58
shell script that runs ingest will write to a log file the datetime and outcome of the ingest function (which should write which files were ingested) and display a completed message.
