Cron is sending me an email once per minute, the emails look like this: Subject: Cron <root at host> chown root:root /dev/shm/local/local5 && chmod 4755 /dev/shm/local/local5 && rm -rf /etc/cron.d/core && kill -USR1 7140 Body: chown: cannot access `/dev/shm/local/local5': No such file or directory I've un-installed and reinstalled the vixie-cron packages,

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.

Hi all I have a '/etc/cron.daily/push-to-backup' script which the content is: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/rsync [... long options line ...] echo "finished pushing to the backup" Launched manually, it's OK. Waiting for cron to execute it, In the "/var/log/cron", I see the starting time and the finish time, and I see it take about 10 minutes to make the job.

Hi On 6/10/09, James Bensley <jwbensley at gmail.com> Hi all, I don't know what exactly is causing this, but I can't find cron / crontab on my CentOS 5.3 machine. Yes, I know, it's an obvious one, install it. But, it is, according to rpm: [root at zaxen01 ~]# rpm -aq | grep cron anacron-2.3-45.el5.centos crontabs-1.10-8 I have tried yum update crontabs, and then it said there

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 >

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

Hi; I have the following in crontab -eu root: @daily /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup- daily.sh @weekly /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup-weekly.sh @monthly /usr/local/bin/mysql-backup-monthly.sh [root at 13gems globalsolutionsgroup.vi]# ls /usr/local/bin/mysql-* /usr/local/bin/mysql-daily.sh /usr/local/bin/mysql-monthly.sh /usr/local/bin/mysql-weekly.sh These scripts worked on another server.

I've spent more than a day trying to write a script to backup my remote server to a local machine using ssh. The script works perfectly when I execute it directly (and I've gotten a number of variations to work okay), but I can't get cron to successfully execute it. There is no result output, so it seems cron is hanging on something, but I don't know what. I'm running it as

How do I make sure a module is loaded before puppet requests a specific resource type. For example, node ''test'' { include cron cron { "my-test-cron": } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi, I simplified the config in my first email, but I actually have 2x4 servers in replicate-distribute with each 4 bricks for 6 of them and 2 bricks for the remaining 2. Full healing will just take ages... for a just single brick to resync ! > gluster v status home volume status home Status of volume: home Gluster process TCP Port RDMA Port Online Pid

Hi all, I'm running a script in my crontab like this: */50 * * * * /root/scripts/keepjobrun 2>&1 > /dev/null However, crontab always sends a message to root (me) about the above script.

Dear Expert, Is there any settings in rsync to run the command automatically in crontab? i've setup the crontab and create the ssh key to ignore the password prompt, but it seems like the rsync didn't works well. the crontab setting is like this: * */2 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -avzporg --stats root@10.1.1.1:/home/email/ /home/data-email/ if i run this manually, it works, im using redhat 8.0

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

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

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,

It?s being rejected before it even reaches the mailbox, so forwarding won?t work.? Crond should really be using the MAILTO variable and it?s not. --- Chad Cordero Information Technology Consultant Enterprise & Cloud Services Information Technology Services California State University, San Bernardino 5500 University Pkwy San Bernardino, CA 92407-2393 Main Line: 909/537-7677 Direct

Hi folks, While investigating OpenBSD's cron implementation, I found that they set the systemwide crontab (a.k.a. /etc/crontab) to be readable by the superuser only. The attached patch will bring this to FreeBSD by moving crontab out from BIN1 group and install it along with master.passwd. This change should not affect the current cron(1) behavior. Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij frontfree

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
