urlwatch doesn't work in crontab mode

[quanhua92]

Hi,
I use gnome-scheduled to create crontab to execute urlwatch. But it doesn't work (doestn't even create cache.db)

Here is the output of "crontab -l"

Here is the output of "grep CRON /var/log/syslog"

However, there is no cache.db in /.urlwatch. If I run the command manually, everything is fine.

Do anyone have any solution for this situation?
Thank you very much.

If it works from the command line, chances are that your crontab has a different environment (user / $PATH, ...) set up.

Also, is this the old version in the Ubuntu repos? Maybe you want to uninstall that and install the new one with pip3 install urlwatch instead.

Oh, and please don't run urlwatch every minute ;)

Closing this for now as there's no feedback for some months on this issue. Feel free to reopen if you still have issues after upgrading to urlwatch 2.5.
