Title Body

I'm using a crontab to run a maintenance script for my minecraft server. Most of the time it works fine, unless the crontab tries to use the restart script. If I run the restart script manually, there aren't any issues. Because I believe it's got to do with path names, I'm trying to make sure it's always doing any minecraft command FROM the minecraft directory. So I'm encasing the command in pushd/popd: os.system("pushd /directory/path/here") os.system("command to sent to minecraft") os.system("popd") Below is an interactive session taking minecraft out of the equation. A simple "ls" test. As you can see, it does not at all run the os.system command from the pushd directory, but instead from /etc/ which is the directory in which I was running python to illustrate my point.Clearly pushd isn't working via python, so I'm wondering how else I can achieve this. Thanks! >>> def test(): ... import os ... os.system("pushd /home/[path_goes_here]/minecraft") ... os.system("ls") ... os.system("popd") ... >>> test() ~/minecraft /etc DIR_COLORS cron.weekly gcrypt inputrc localtime mime.types ntp ppp rc3.d sasldb2 smrsh vsftpd.ftpusers DIR_COLORS.xterm crontab gpm-root.conf iproute2 login.defs mke2fs.conf ntp.conf printcap rc4.d screenrc snmp vsftpd.tpsave X11 csh.cshrc group issue logrotate.conf modprobe.d odbc.ini profile rc5.d scsi_id.config squirrelmail vz adjtime csh.login group- issue.net logrotate.d motd odbcinst.ini profile.d rc6.d securetty ssh warnquota.conf aliases cyrus.conf host.conf java lvm mtab openldap protocols redhat-release security stunnel webalizer.conf alsa dbus-1
