Subject: Re: Scripts dying mid-way

From: Peter Bailey [mailto:pbailey@bna.com] 
# I've got a bunch of scripts that suddenly appear to be dying 
# on me. When
# I run them in my Ruby editor, Aracho, they run fine. But, when they're
# scheduled with a scheduler and run on their own every ten 
# minutes or so,
# they run the first part of the script, but then stop. Here's a simple
# sample of one os these scripts. They're basically just conversion
# scripts. They convert EPS or PDF files to two formats, TIFF and PNG,
# and, once that's done, they copy and move those files to 
# various places
# on my network.
# 
# The script dies right after it finishes with line 5 here. All 
# the files
# created simply stay in the scratch directory and aren't moved 
# or copied.

you should capture all error and logs.

then
1 test run it in the command line, then
2 test run it in the scheduler in immediate/once mode (do not schedule a recurrence yet)
