-bash: command not found Assistance Needed

[devel95]

I have a shell script below that produces the following error:
-bash: rotateLogs: command not found

Can you tell me what might be the problem? Thanks.

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/apache/logs
cat access_log > access_log.prior-month ; cat /dev/null > access_log
cat error_log > error_log.prior-month ; cat /dev/null > error_log

It looks like you need to download a script (http://iain.cx/src/logrotate/) to do what you want.

Solved it myself.

You need to run the script using the full path. I was running the script from the command prompt as rotateLogs.sh

Run as /full/path/to/script/rotateLogs.sh
or
./rotateLogs.sh

Next problem. Now that I have the script working, I want to run it as a CRON job.

I am using cpanel and when the crontab runs, I get a permission denied error on each of the 4 log files in the script.

My log files are set as:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

My script is set as:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user

I believe it has something to do with the the cPanel user not being 'root'. So I changed my script to:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root

I still get permission denied on the 4 files.

Any ideas on how I can get a cPanel CRONTAB to run in the case?

Thanks.

Solved it. Ended up bypassing cPanel's CRONTAB editor and SSH'd into crontab -e
