similar to: strange error when run from cron

Hello, I have been having trouble with a Mandrake 10 Server. When I copy from one server to another I find that on completion of the Rsync command that the system still reports back that the memory is in use ( aprox 1 gig ). I have installed 1.5 gig of ram into the server and it made no difference. On the latest occasion I dropped back to single user and It didn't release the memory. There

Hey list, I have several crontabs set up to run at night and I'm not convinced they are running but of course, I'm not here to see for sure! The crontabs are like the following example; 30 20 * * * sh /home/a_user/nightlyscrips/nightly_script_1 > /home/a_user/nightlyscripts/`date +%d-%m-%Y--%H-%M-%S`.log However, if this would have successfully ran last night I would surely expect to

hey centos long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup user): run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3) 45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log * 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump

Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

Really quickly: Would anyone know how I might add a crontab entry via a script (bash)? I'm attempting to write one to schedule commands at certain times. Is this possible? Thanks. -Jose

Hi all. Can anyone help me with scheduling tasks? I'm running Centos4.2 (updated via yum starting from 4.0). I know I have vixie-cron and anacron packages installed (came like that, from first install, I guess). I read the crontab syntax man page (man 5 crontab) and I made an entry as a normal user (using crontab -e) that looks like the following: 30 0 9 1 1 /bin/ls -F /home/jose >

Hi, we experience difficulties with crond behaviour sending mail since CentOS 8.1. The cron job is the same like we used in CentOS 7. crontab -l /usr/bin/python3 -c 'import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)' && /usr/local/bin/backup.sh backup.sh writes the backup to the remote backup server. There are around 30 machines with the same cron job. The python

Hello, The following cron job is failing to run: 00 16 * * * root ruby /home/nathan/rails/notifications/script/runner -e production Notifier.deliver_summary My understanding from the Rails Wiki is that this should do it.

What is the ramifications to simply placing scripts in the /etc/cron.hourly directory as opposed to actually adding jobs via the crontab -e method? Is there any significance to using one method versus the other? Thanks! jlc

Hi, I just configured SquidAnalyzer, a nifty little network statistics tool that I'm using mainly in school networks to monitor network usage. I want to run the '/usr/bin/squid-analyzer' script once a day. I took a peek in /etc/cron.daily, and the package already installed an /etc/cron.daily/0squidanalyzer script. I wanted to know at what time CentOS ran the cron.daily scripts,

Everyone, I am building a gateway server with a new : CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)??with 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 kernel. Everything was going find, but I was not able to get a particular cronjob to function properly that contained a perl script with Astro::Time as an include file. Astro::Time was installed with the use of the cpan module downloaded from the Centos repositories. The

Do you need cron installed for the files in /etc/cron.daily/ to execute? Did a Centos 6.x minimal openvz install and noticed cron is not installed by default and after installing mlocate cant help but wander if it will be updated without it.

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.

OK. I thought I would start by looking at how cron.rb in the puppet lib/type works because what I''m trying to accomplish is similar. However, when looking through that, it wasn''t immediately obvious to me how or when the resulting cron file was getting written out. Is this getting stored up in some instance var or something? Maybe getting sent to standard out and some

Hi all, Who takes care of cronjob in /etc/cron.d ? Should we tell crond to run it? /etc/crontab only mentions hourly, daily, weekly, monthly -- Thanks Fajar

hello list, I am attempting to backup a centos 5.4 (x86_64) server running mysql with a cron job.
