can't schedule gamadv-xtd3 with cron

[lucamanga]

Hello,

I schedule a gam claim ownership every day, but it seems that it is not working.

The log states:

 ==> 2019-07-25 09:48:01 Claiming ownership for: email@email.email

ERROR: Connection error: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

the error happens after about 45 minutes, ever time.

Doing it interactively on BASH prompt doesn't give any error.

Any idea?

This would seem to indicate that whatever environment the cron job runs in, there is now network access. What user does the cron job runs as? Do you run the gam command directly of via a script?

1. root
2. via a script that does multiple "gam claim ownership" NOT in parallel, but one by one

What user are you logged in as when you run Gam interactively?

The problem was that the CRON doesn't inherit the http_proxy environment variable set in ~/.bashrc

Putting it as a row at the top of crontab solves the problem!
