similar to: Cron job? or something else? help..

Hi All, is it possible to delete cronjobs by patterns using ''cron'' resource? I.e. I want to make sure that there is no any cronjob that contains "/ path/to/some/unneeded_file" command in root crontab without knowing the command possible parameters and schedule. If no, any suggestions about how it can be performed are welcome. Thanks in advance

Buenas, Voy a dejar un programa en produccion en un servidor, el cual tiene que ejecutarse cada minuto, y si se reinicia el servidor o lo uqe sea, que se ponga a trabajar directamete. ?R server permite hacer eso, o tengo que generar un script que se ejecute desde un cronjob del servidor? Desde mi ignorancia, considero que la segunda opcion es la m?s robusta frente a fallos. Un saludo Jes?s

I was attempting to set up some cron jobs via puppet. I was trying to get cron to mail the output of the cron jobs to a specific user, so I was attempting to set MAILTO=user@example.com, via the environment => specifier. Puppet did as it was told. Unfortunately, I guess that Solaris 10 does not support setting of environment variables in crontab files (directly), so when puppet attempted to

hello list, I am attempting to backup a centos 5.4 (x86_64) server running mysql with a cron job. Here's how the cron job looks: [root at cloud:/home/bluethundr/backupdb] #crontab -l * 3 * * * /usr/bin/mysqldump jfwiki > /home/bluethundr/backupdb/wiki-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql However if I run the command from the command line it seems to work fine. If I grep syslog for cron this is what

Hi All, How does one create a cron job that runs commands like: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=xxx.com -update /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yyy.com -update Say every 15 mins? -Jason

Hi, I have a cronjob that executes a script that has some echo statements in it and the commands in it also generate output (it copies files, reloads services, etc...). Recently, cron stopped sending its output by e-mail. I restarted cron, without success. Any ideas where I shoud start to debug this? Regards, Ugo

Dear all, I'm trying to find a way to automate checkdisk every 1 month on a weekend. in other words i want checkdisk to run every saturday morning. i can of course change the default mount/count though that wont let me control WHEN it will happen. so i need your expert opinion with the following if possible: 1. reboot into single user mode 2. start checkdisk for all disks 3. once done,

This might be a bit OT, but I've never had to do this before and what I've googled doesn't seem to be working. I have an ansible playbook that I'm working on that I want to run as a cronjob.? One task I'm having trouble with is where I have a text file with lines like: rd.pl "blah blah" rd.pl "blah blah blah" This text file has to be 'executed'

Dear all, i Just finished setting up an apache service on a centos 5.2 VM machine. i need to secure this machine as i'm soon to be setting a public IP over it where i'd be opening up the following services: 1. http 2. https 3. ssh Things i've done so far: 1. stopped root ssh access in sshd.conf 2. tried configuring PAM so i get a more secure ssh passwords (dictionary wise) as

For some reason I cannot fathom, cron.hourly runs twice each hour on one of my two CentOS-5.4 systems, as reported in /var/log/cron: ------------------------- Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27833]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 16 14:01:01 helen crond[27834]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) ------------------------- On the other it just runs once, as expected.

hello, i'm using an apache server to host 8 virtual hosts. even though this server is local.. 7 out of these 8 virtual hosts open extremly slow.. it takes around 10 seconds to open a page.. though the 8th (which is a completely different site) it opens fairly fast in around 1 or 2 seconds tops.. i tried tailing the error_log and i found nothing .. is there a way i could monitor wht each

We have some third party software running on a CentOS 4.5 virtual machine. The software is delivered as compiled python and I wrote an init script for it myself (/etc/init.d/gk). Because the software lacks the usual robustness of CentOS services, I have a bash script (/etc/cron.daily/gk-restart) which simply calls "/etc/init.d/gk restart". So, as expected, root gets an email every day

I dont know if i am missleaded but it seems to me that the cron type does not accept names with a ''.'' in it ? I tried to add a cron with a name cron1-$domainename and it does not accept it. If i remove the ''.'' in the domain it work. I am using .22.3 anyone seeing the same behavior ? If yes i will fill it as a bug. -- Cordialement, Ghislain ADNET. AQUEOS.

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes
