`sbin` is not in the path when run via cron. Specify the full path to `service`. This is probably either `/sbin/service` or `/usr/sbin/service`. You can find the path on your system by running `which service`.

I have started collaborating on a series of projects with several developers on github, and we recently created an organization with it&#39;s own &quot;organization&quot; type account on github.  I see that I can fork repositories of my collaborators into the organization account using the usual fork menu, but of course I cannot fork my own account.  

What is the expected workflow to import my existing repositories into the organizational account?  (I presume I could fork projects hosted by the other members, but not my own?)

How can I configure IntelliJ to capture the standard output of the application to a file, but still display it in the standard console window?

can you give me a simple example of an application with background service which uses bind/unbind methods to start and stop it? I was googling for it for a half-hour, but those examples use startService/stopService methods or are very difficult for me. thank you.

bind/unbind service example (android)

I have a Service in my application which is designed to run every 10 minutes. It basically checks up on our servers to see if everything is running properly and notifies the user of any problems. I created this application for internal use at our company.

My co-worker used the application over the long weekend and noticed that no checks were performed when the device went to sleep. I was under the impression that the Service was supposed to keep running in the background until I explicitly call `stopService()` in my code.

So ultimately, my goal is to have the service running until the user hits the off button in the application or kills the process.

I heard about something called `WakeLock` which is meant to keep the screen from turning off, which is not what I want. I then heard of another thing called a _partial WakeLock_, which keeps the CPU running even when the device is asleep. The latter sounds closer to what I need.

How do I acquire this WakeLock and when should I release it and are there other ways around this?

Keep a Service running even when phone is asleep?

I am trying to make my `Service` running in foreground. I tried to use [this example][1] (please look for the section &quot;*Running a Service in the Foreground*&quot;), but `startForeground()` does not actually show my notification. And no exceptions is thrown. To make it shown, I need to use `NotificationManager` like [here][2] explained. With `NotificationManager` my notification works, but i&#39;m not sure that my `Service` is foreground after this &quot;silent&quot; call to `startForeground()`.

What can be wrong?

**EDIT**: I just tested [this sample project][3] that should demonstrate `startForeground()`, but it does not work! I use API v7.0, I tested it both on emulator and real device (SE Xperia Neo). Notification does not appear.

**EDIT2**: if i try to call `setForeground()` then i got a warning `setForeground: ignoring old API call`.

I also tried to use `startForegroundCompat()` as described [here][4], but effect is absolutelly the same. I check if my service is foreground using `ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo` as described [here][5], and I see that my service is **not** foreground.

startForeground() does not show my Notification

I need to monitor user&#39;s locations using a background service, and then load them and show the path to the user.

Using an activity, it was quite easy to get GPS locations, but when I got to do it via a service, I came into a problem as it seems to only work for looper threads (or something like that).

As I&#39;ve searched the internet for a solution, I&#39;ve found out that many people got the same problem, but I couldn&#39;t find a working solution. Some people say that you need to use prepare-&gt;loop-&gt;quit , and some say you have to use a handlerThread, but still, I can&#39;t find out how to do such things in a proper way.


Get GPS location via a service in Android

When I go to the windows services window in Windows 7 (Start ==&gt; Administrative Tool ==&gt; Service), I can&#39;t find IIS Service listed! Am I missing something? I just want to restart the service. I have IIS Manager and can open it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Is there any way to create a cron expression for not running the job at all?

I though of using this expression : 

&gt; 0 0 0 1 1 ? 3099

...which will practically do the job as it will run on year 3099, but is there a cleaner way to do it?

A cron job that will never execute

I have few crontab jobs that run under root, but that gives me some problems. For example all folders created in process of that cron job are under user root and group root. 
How can i make it to run under user www-data and group www-data so when i run scripts from my website i can manipulate those folders and files?

My server runs on Ubuntu.  
Current crontab job is:  

    */1 * * * * php5 /var/www/web/includes/crontab/queue_process.php &gt;&gt; /var/www/web/includes/crontab/queue.log 2&gt;&amp;1

How to specify in crontab by what user to run script?

I&#39;m trying to add a line to the crontab on Ubuntu.

Right now, I&#39;m doing `crontab -e` and editing the crontab there.

However, I can&#39;t seem to find the real crontab file, since `crontab -e` seems to give you a temporary working copy.

`/etc/crontab` looks like the system crontab.

What is the path of the crontab that `crontab -e` saves to?

Thanks!

Appending to crontab with a shell script on Ubuntu

I&#39;m trying to execute a Python script using the Linux [crontab][1]. I want to run this script every 10 minutes.

I found a lot of solutions and none of them worked. For example: edit the anacron at */etc/cron.d* or use `crontab -e`. I put this line at the end of the file, but it doesn&#39;t change anything. Do I have to restart any service(s)?
