We're running shell commands and require java to be present and executable from the shell, I assume that there will be many issues regarding this...
One other thing to keep in mind: The user under which the cronjobs are executed don't necessarily needs to be the same user as apache is running. That this extension can work, it's very important that both users have write access to the folders where SVN check outs, log files and the StatSVN reports are stored.
If you identify a bug, please don't hesitiate to file a bug report in our bugtracker: https://bugs.oliverklee.com/ Thanks!
To avoid getting an email upon every run where StatSVN generates a new report, you can define the cronjob as shown in the following example. Especially the end of the line is responsible for disabling the email that is sent otherwise.
