From: Christian Hesse <mail at eworm.de> Logging to stderr results in line endings being terminated with carriage return (\r) and new line (\n). While this is fine for terminals it may have undesired effects when running from crond and logging to syslog or similar. I run ssh from cron on an recent linux host. Viewing logs with journalctl I see: Sep 06 16:50:01 linux CROND[152575]: [96B

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, Just updated a few servers to U7, and rebooted them. I found out that crond would not start at boot even if it is configured to: crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I have tested another reboot, same thing: I had to start crond manually. I don't see anything in the logs, and I don't have direct access to the console right now. Anyone seen the

Hi, I've installed CentOS-4 4 days ago. Now, every 5 minutes, crond opens and close a root session, with no other info. Example: Apr 14 16:25:01 tux crond(pam_unix)[4031]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Apr 14 16:25:02 tux crond(pam_unix)[4031]: session closed for user root Every five minutes the same thing. I have nothing in /etc/crontab that makes such a thing. Does anyone

The RHL 6.2 command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start" prevents clean logout from compiled version of OpenSSH-2.5.1p1 on all hosts. The command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop" is OK. This occurs for interactive or command line requests. ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond stop --- works every time ssh remotehost /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start --- hangs every time Control-C will

Hi All. I monitor number of crond processes on my machines. On one of them I have 2 crond processes for a short period of time (few minutes) everyday. It is at the same time when one jobs starts to run - a sphinx indexer. What are the possible causes of crond running a child crond process? Best regards, Rafal.

Hi guys: I could only find one answer for this topic via google, and the poster wasnt' sure if he was breaking something with his "fix". I there a way to redirect the cron session messages from syslog to a different log? i.e.: Aug 15 01:03:01 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 15 01:03:07 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session closed for user root

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.

It worked on C 6, but on a C 7 box, I've restarted crond, and cron.allow doesn't have what's in cron.allw.local. What am I missing, folks? mark

Hi, Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in 'messages' file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below; /var/log/asterisk/messages { missingok rotate 5 daily postrotate /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger

Crontab offers many refined facilities for Western calendaring, but none for traditional Eastern-- lunar-- designations. So for example, if one wants specify regular occurring events on full moons or on new moons, there is no way to do this. Emacs (a text processor!?) accomplishes this. The math for calculating lunar calendaring is already available; mathematical functions are already

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;

Hellos, Yes, I did some tests with "OnFailure" attribute, but the result was the same: system didn't sent any mail. Daemon and script files were: * crond.service: * [Unit] Description=Command Scheduler After=auditd.service systemd-user-sessions.service time-sync.target OnFailure=crond-notify-email.service [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/crond

Hi all, CentOs has choosen anacron as default cron daemon. I did not look further about the reasons, I think there are some good reasons. I want to create a minute based set of scripts. No much precision required, once a minute more or less 20 sec is OK. Using anacron, how do you recommend to do it? Is anacron the right tool? Otherwise what's the right tool? -- RMA.

Hello, I'm trying to configure a daemon (I'm doing tests with "crond" daemon) to send me an email after daemon restart. My "crond.service" file is: # /etc/systemd/system/crond.service [Unit] Description=Command Scheduler After=auditd.service systemd-user-sessions.service time-sync.target #OnFailure=crond-notify-email@%i.service [Service]
