Hi All, Can anyone explain this:
G N U P L O T
Version 5.2 patchlevel 6 last modified 2019-01-01
I have a bash file and a gnuplot file viz:
$ cat getfiles
#!/bin/bash
FILES=$(find /var/tmp/ -daystart -maxdepth 1 -regextype posix-awk -regex ".*_[0-9]{8}.*" -mtime -9)
gnuplot -c /home/pi/gpts/temp_weekly.gpt $FILES
$ cat temp_weekly.gpt
#!/usr/bin/gnuplot
# vim: filetype=gnuplot
#
if (ARGC > 0) {
do for [j=1:ARGC] { print ARGV[j] }
}
On two machines, RaspberryPis running Raspbian and OSMC, when "getfiles"
is run from the command line, temp_weekly.gpt outputs a list of files,
one per line, as expected.
When run from a cron job, I get an error:
print ARGV[j]
^
line 6: ':' expected
However on another, RPi running Void Linux, both command line and cron
job give the expected list of files.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.
