im using crontab on a server to run a shell script which uses pgloader to load data into a postgresql everyday and i have bitbucket pipeline with a python script that runs every week, but i want the bitbucket pipeline only to run if the cronjob was successfull.
I thought of 2 possible ways to solve the problem:
- Using hc-ping to get the status of the cronjob, but im not sure i understood the documentation of hc-ping correctly, as i understood it you can only check if crontab functions properly and not the status of the jobs itself?
- Another method i thought of was to check wether the data migration with pgloader was successful or not and create a file depending on it which is used in another cronjob and get the hc-ping of that cronjob. If the file was not created then the job would fail and i could check with hc-ping that the crontab was not run.
I appreciate every help i can get.
Best regards
