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,

Oops, yes CentOS 7, sorry. For the record: # service anacron

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;

> > So, service is running but what could happen that makes /etc/cron.* not > being fired? You don't say, but if this is CentOS 7, then cron.daily/weekly/monthly is run using anacron, not cron. It's configured in /etc/anacrontab and is usually run once a day by the script /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron - cron.hourly is still run by cron. If the script doesn't exist, then

Is one meant to have one or the other? If so, which is recommended?

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, I'm regularly getting spammed by my own servers, with the following message: /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron: Not using downloaded epel/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have: Current : Sat Sep 12 19:05:04 2020 Downloaded: Thu Sep 10 19:12:19 2020 How can I make this nonsense stop?

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 all, I wanted to schedule some rsync backups and found that CentOS is by default using anacron. I'm mostly used with the historical cron, but let's follow the progress :-) - I made a shell script in /etc/cron.daily/dobackup - I made it 755, root.root. - In /etc/anacrontab, START_HOURS_RANGE=21-23 (I kept the other lines unchanged) - When I manually run /etc/cron.daily/dobackup, it

I made a script to backup a folder on a remote server it works manually, I set a cron job to launch the script every 2 mins (for test), I sse in the log this line Mar 13 13:10:01 debian /USR/SBIN/CRON[6302]: (root) CMD (root /usr/bin/backup.sh) but when I sheck the remote server nothing is done, any sugestions pls

Hi. I'm installed yum-cron and set: # by default MAILTO is unset, so crond mails the output by itself # example: MAILTO=root MAILTO="root at domain.org.ua" I see in log that yum-cron done it's job: # grep "yum" /var/log/cron Aug 11 03:08:02 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4516]: starting 0yum.cron Aug 11 03:49:30 venti run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[4761]: finished

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.? Thank you all for your help. --- Chad Cordero Information Technology Consultant Enterprise & Cloud Services Information Technology Services California State University, San Bernardino 5500

Hi all, I am having strange problems with my cron jobs in my CentOS7 kvm host. After the initial install and first boot, any cron job configured had run (including cron tasks installed by some rpm packages). Last cron's entry log is: Oct 9 17:01:01 santgraal CROND[9014]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Oct 9 17:01:01 santgraal run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[9014]: starting 0anacron

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 >

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.
