I have a script that goes like this:
#!/bin/bash
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/821419
set -Eeuo pipefail
_SUBJECT='Taskwarrior ghistory.daily'
_TO='me@me.me'
_TMP2=$(mktemp /tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.log)
_TMP=$(mktemp /tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.png)
_CMD="/usr/bin/unbuffer /usr/bin/task rc:${HOME}/.config/task/taskrc ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk 2> '${_TMP2}'"
/usr/bin/timeout 10s /usr/bin/bash -c "${_CMD}" | ${HOME}/go/bin/textimg -o ${_TMP}
# tee /dev/tty |
echo "${_CMD}" |
mutt -a "${_TMP}" -s "$_SUBJECT" -- $_TO
#timeout 10s
# bash -c "unbuffer task rc:/home/dzwiedziu/.config/task/taskrc ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk 2> '${_TMP2}'" |
# ${HOME}/go/bin/textimg -o ${_TMP}; echo 'unbuffer task rc:/home/dzwiedziu/.config/task/taskrc ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk |& tee ${_TMP2}' |
# mutt -a "${_TMP}" -s 'task ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk' -- me@me.me
cat ${_TMP2}
And this script works perfectly run manually. Gets the report, makes an image, sends it.
But when run from cron the resulting mail reads:
+ set -Eeuo pipefail
+ _SUBJECT='Taskwarrior ghistory.daily'
+ _TO=me@me.me
++ mktemp /tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.log
+ _TMP2=/tmp/tmp.XIo41GYh7V.log
++ mktemp /tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.png
+ _TMP=/tmp/tmp.OfzsFRMDhN.png
+ _CMD='/usr/bin/unbuffer /usr/bin/task rc:/home/dzwiedziu/.config/task/taskrc ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk 2> '''/tmp/tmp.XIo41GYh7V.log''''
+ /usr/bin/timeout 10s /usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/unbuffer /usr/bin/task rc:/home/dzwiedziu/.config/task/taskrc ghistory.daily -minut_45 end.after:tomorrow-1wk 2> '''/tmp/tmp.XIo41GYh7V.log''''
+ /home/dzwiedziu/go/bin/textimg -o /tmp/tmp.OfzsFRMDhN.png
Error: must need input texts.
The log file and the output image are empty.
