similar to: creating a puppet resource from existing cron

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

The problem with vixie cron is wider (and more funny) than I expected. Here''s my proggy which allows hiding files of any kind and size into crontab entries (remember, quota is ignored ;-): -- cron_put -- #!/bin/bash echo "Vixie cron 3.0.1 file storage - put utlility" echo "by Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf@staszic.waw.pl>" echo if [ "$1" = "" ];

I have following trouble on x86_64 machines. On i686 machines all ok.

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

Well, I feel silly.? There are three places MAILTO can affect crond: /etc/crontab, /etc/crond.d/0hourly, and /etc/anacrontab.? Once I set this in these 3 files, I started getting mail from crond.?

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

Hello, There appears to be an error in the stderr redirection of the crontab rsync entry. In Bourne shell and compatibles (crontab entries are run by the Bourne shell) redirections are processed from left to right and "2>&1" redirects the stderr to the same location stdout is currently directed and not to stdout. Hence: cmd 2>&1 > log directs stderr to the

I am troubleshooting a new cron line that is triggering logcheck. Other cron entries do not trigger logcheck, even though they are logged in /var/log/syslog This is a security trigger, and I know it is because of certain words in the cron entry. What I can't figure out is which entry in logcheck is ignoring the other cron events? Here is a cron log from syslog that does not

>Doesn't the cron job run as a root user (or member of the root group)? >Certainly root owns the cron daemon, afaik. You are right insofar as the cron daemon process is owned by root. However, when the cron daemon runs a job, it starts the the job's process with the privileges (and the environment, e.g. $HOME) of the user for whom the job was added. I added the job to a crontab file

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 >

Hello there, I've just noticed that scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,...} are not launched for several weeks (I noticed a `locate` not finding a recently added binary). Exactly, it's since June 02, and `# service cron status` says: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status crond.service * crond.service - Command Scheduler Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service; enabled;

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,
