Install the Identity Service in OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 (LTS) - icehouse

[Guilherme Steinmuller]

Hi! The following command has a syntax error

$ sudo (crontab -l 2>&1 | grep -q token_flush) || \
echo '@hourly /usr/bin/keystone-manage token_flush >/var/log/keystone/keystone-tokenflush.log 2>&1' >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `crontab'

Anyone?

Using sudo will not work in this case, the easiest solution is probably to become root (sudo -s or sudo -i) and then run the command.

Note for the doc team: I think we should revert to using 'crontab -e'. It works everywhere, and with sudo too.

Thank you! It works!

Are you suggesting the code should now read:

$ sudo (crontab -e 2>&1 | grep -q token_flush) || \
echo '@hourly /usr/bin/keystone-manage token_flush >/var/log/keystone/keystone-tokenflush.log 2>&1' >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

[Alexandra Settle (alexandra-settle)]

Sorry, should the code now read:

# cronjob -e

/usr/bin/keystone-manage token_flush >/var/log/keystone/keystone-tokenflush.log * * * 1 * *

Also, do you want this changed in all the releases? OR just Icehouse and Juno?

[Gauvain Pocentek (gpocentek)]

I think that calling 'crontab -e' and specifying what to add in the editor would be much simpler. BUT that's what we had in the first version, and it's been updated to what it is now (several times). It coul be a good idea to mail the list to make sure that we want this change (I know I do :)

BTW the line would be:

@hourly /usr/bin/keystone-manage token_flush >/var/log/keystone/keystone-tokenflush.log 2>&1

Installation guide no longer uses SQL backend for tokens.
