[gentoo-user] problems running doxygen from cron

[Dirk Uys]

Hi

I have a problem when running doxygen from a cron job. It seems like
doxygen is simply aborting at an arbitrary point during execution. I
tried to search on the internet, but could not find anything similar
reported.

I have the following script:

<script>
#!/bin/bash
echo `date` >> /home/user/cron.log
/usr/bin/svn update /home/user/source/
/bin/cp /home/user/live_doc /home/user/source/

echo "====== Start Doxygen ======"

/usr/bin/doxygen /home/user/source/live_doc

echo "====== Doxygen completed ======"

/bin/cp -R /home/user/source-doxy/html/* /home/www/source-doxy/

echo "====== Copy completed ======"
</script>

My cron entry is
45 * * * * /home/user/script.sh >> /home/user/debug.log

When I run the script from the command line it works fine and doxygen
executes successfully, but when cron executes the script, doxygen
simply aborts at some point:

I'm using vixie-cron-4.1-r10 and doxygen-1.5.4
