Web Hosting :: Cron Jobs Failing

Cron Jobs Not Running
I have a machine, that for some reason stopped running it's cron jobs for some reason, and I can figure out how to get them working again.

My /etc/crontab file is as follows.

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Here are the contents of a sample user cron file.

MAILTO="USER"
10 4 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updtransfers.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updateexp.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/invoice_cron.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
and another

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -c /home/USER/php.ini /home/USER/public_html/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
I've checked my logs, and I can find no errors anywhere. When I run the commands manually via SSH, they work perfectly, they simply are not being run automatically the way they are supposed to be.

I have checked, and the crond service is running. I have tried restarting it, but it seams to have no affect. I really have no idea what the issue is. The only thing I seam to have found at one point, was the possibility that the files within the /etc/cron.d directory might be CHMOD'ed wrong, but I haven't found anything to confirm this either way.

Software To Control Cron Jobs?
Is there any software which would control cron jobs? I've a problem with cpu load where some customers are running more than enough of them at the same time.

Is there any software which would be able to:

If there are more than x crons running at the same time, put others in queue and execute after there are no more than x-1 are running?

Cron Jobs And Time Zone Differences
I have a customer billing system.

I would like crons to run at midnight so that the invoices are on schedule and have the right dates etc.

My server is overseas and my time is plus 14 hrs here.

I have set my software up to plus 14 hrs time difference also.

What should I set my crons to?

Determine What Cron Jobs Are Killing Server And When
We're running on Linux/Apache/MySQL/RoR and have a number of cron jobs that run throughout the day on our server. We've been noticing lately that at certain times of the day the site becomes really slow. When I'm online with my engineers I can mention this to them and they can check and see and say "Oh yeah, it's job XYZ that's spiking the server load."

That's great but much of the time when I notice the sluggishness my developers are offline (we're in different time zones). I'm wondering if there's a fairly easy way to track this when they're not online so we can say "Yup, last night at 10 PM your time when you noticed that it was job ABC." There has to be something that allows you to do this right?

Variable Filenames By Date In Cron Jobs
How do you insert variables in cron jobs? e.g. the current date.

Let's say I want to back up a file and append the date to it.

0 0 * * * cp /some/file.txt /some/outputfile_[DATE].txt >/dev/null
(note that I'm not sure the cp will actually work like that, it's just an example)

Where outputfile_[DATE].txt has the date in it.

Are there variables cron can use for date, hour, minute, etc.?

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account).

In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this:

/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php

But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email:

/home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory

So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

Is This Drive Failing
Just got this server setup, getting some smart errors. Here's a copy of the trouble ticket I posted to the host, they said "If you read through the documentation for smartd you will find that from the results you pasted, your hard disk passed every test. We can give you another hard disk if you want but we will have to charge you 3 credits for the reinstall of the operating system." I could be wrong, maybe everything's fine, but the fact that there are unreadable sectors reported has me a little worried.

Httpd Keeps Failing
Before I used to get around 5-6 a day emails saying that httpd has failed and a restart has been attempted automatically.

After I increased the max clients in the httpd.conf the number reduced 1-2 emails a day.

I am not sure what the problem exactly is

Is it because my sites are using up high bandwidth?

Bind Keeps Failing
For some reason BIND keeps failing on my cPanel server every couple of days. There are no error logs in the /var/logs/messages file concerning the crash but when I manually restart bind then it logs messages just fine and I can see them. Does BIND keep any other error logs?

Today it seemed to coincide with a big movement in system memory, here my munin graph:

I have ran the “fixeverything” script which attempts to correct any errors in the bind config file but it still crashes. I couldn’t see anything wrong with it ayway.

I run yum update, The update starts, then when it gets too downloading the packages I get the following error for every single RPM.

The RPM's can be downloaded just fine if I copy and past that URL in my browser. I don't understand why the server can't open that URL

Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is anyone else at iWeb having the same problem.

AmeriHost Failing Me For 8 Weeks Now...
The second week of July AmeriHosting moved my VPS to a new server or something and changed my IP addresses. No big deal, except the move failed miserably. My sites were down for a week. Shortly thereafter, email was down also for a week. What had worked on the old VPS did not work reliably on the new VPS. Messages sent to support went unanswered, or were given inadequate responses. They also could not go back to the old VPS which was working acceptably (and had for 2 years); I do not know why. No backup was made or else they could have gone back. That's what I think anyway. On the new VPS they did not have the same version of PHP or PHP modules. This broke some of the sites; and asking them to correct the problems as they were discovered took several days up to a week. Now the first week of September, and problems persist. This time I cannot issue a backup in Virtuozzo. This has been going on for 2 weeks. I get a response every couple of days about this is being looked into and they will respond, but no one ever does.

I've been told on several occasions the past week that they were going to move me to a new VPS but keep my IP addresses; this has not yet happened and it has been a week.

Twice I was told it would take only a few minutes to do this and it would be done that day. It has not yet been done. To add to the matter, I prepaid for a year, and I have 6 months hosting left with them. So I feel pretty damn screwed. My largest hosting customer has just moved sites from my service to another service this past week, so I am clearly losing revenue from this ordeal. Phone calls have gone unanswered (during the freakin' day!). Messages to billing and support get absolutely no response. Tonight I left a message that I wanted the name of the president or owner and his phone number so that I might enlighten him about the problems his customers are having and the dire straits his business is in.

At one time I would have recommended AmeriHosting.

Not now. Not ever. Don't even consider AmeriHosting. They'll **** you good at some point and harm YOUR business and YOUR CUSTOMERS' businesses, too.

By Restarting Exim it resolves the issue but it happens hours later.

Apache Mail Failing
On my website, which is hosted on Godaddy's VPS, I have a tell-a-friend script and a few email forms in which my visitors can contact me. They have all worked perfectly for months on my VPS (and for over a year on shared hosting before that) until a few weeks ago, when I started to notice that mail would not come through unless I rebooted the server. I contacted Godaddy's support, but all they told me was that "mail might me stuck in the queue". I don't know what to do. Should I upgrade my RAM? I think the process that does the mailing is called Apache Mail if that helps.

RAID 1 Array Failing
I have a server with a Dell Perc4e Hardware RAID Controller and 2 Maxtor Atlas 15K2 U320 SCSI. I´m currently having a problem with one of the HD´s. For the second time in about 2 - 3 months, it failed. I reconsctruct the array and everything goes online and healthy. Does this mean this specific HD may not be in the best condition? Shouldn´t it fail and never go back online again, in this case? Is there any chance that the problem is the SCSI cable (i´m not using hot swap cradle, but cable + adapter)?

Connecting To Remote MySQL Failing
I'm facing some odd issues with 2 servers located in the same datacenter.

One server is the HTTP server, and every 5 minutes it works, then for 5 minutes Server One and Server Two (MySQL) hate each other and refuse to talk to each other. Not only can neither not connect to each others MySQL, but also neither can ping each other.

The odd thing is, Server Three can however connect to the Server Two MySQL with no problems during this period. It seems to be just the communication between Server One and Server Two that keeps getting halted.

I've tried "service iptables stop" to disable the firewall, and changing SELinux to disabled, but neither have fixed it.

Cpsrvd & MySQL Is Failing
I using PSM (for MGT) & Cyberwurx (hosting) and we're having a heck of time getting our server up and running.

HISTORY:
Our server ran fine for years. Cyberswurx was very responsive and PSM solved every issue. Last week, a hacker accessed our server through an "calender" script and was able to deface the index.html pages of all the accounts and setup redirects.

We had Cyberwurx reinstall WHM/CPANEL and had the server cleaned of all corrupt files. PSM restored all the accounts on WHM.

PROBLEM:

1. CPSRVD is constantly failing.
2. When we restart MYSQL server, the server become overloaded.
3. Then it goes offline.

Cyberwurx will reboot the server. Then we start over again...

Platinum Server Mgt has worked on this since last Wed. We are constantly going back and forth between PSM & Cyberwurx.

Sick Of SoftLayers Failing Reboot System
Numerous times when we need to reboot our server SoftLayer's remote reboot system fails. It works roughly around 50% of the time. I click reboot and after that it just displays:

Pinging server x 200
"Maximum amount of pings sent, server will be up shortly".

For my other server with them, if I go to click reboot, this error message displays:

Length provided for 'errors' is too long. Provided with length of '540676', maximum length is '400000'.

So when I have to reboot my server I have to issue a ticket. My server has been down 1 hour as I type, and there has been no response to the ticket what so ever.

Sorry Softlayer, you've let me and my members down. Combine that with other problems, such as bandwidth graphs never loading despite you saying it will be fixed, etc. You used to be a reliable company, but these past months I've been through hell.

Perhaps this may be due to todays network downtime, but then again that's the cherry on the cake.

I've sent in my cancellation request for all servers. Does anyone know of a provider who offers dual quads for similar prices, and perhaps with working features and fast responses?

Goodbye SoftLayer.

I have a server with failing hard drive (smart errors) and drive must be replaced soon but i feel lazy to restore everything from backup hard drive and was thinking it will be smart to just copy mirror of primary hard drive from original hard drive to knew one. Is this possible?

I do have 2 backup copies, so don't worry about that .

Btw, i found this link which says its possible but i am not sure. Please suggest.

Cpanel Services Failing And Being Restarted, How Do I Determine Cause
Cpanel installed on Centos 5.2 on a dedicated server.

This morning, I received multiple emails about services being restarted. About 20 minutes apart, with nothing that I coudl see going on with the server, I had multiple services fail and restart.

How do I trouble shoot this to see if there is a problem?

At 6:21 The following services failed:
httpd
lfd
httpd
cpsrvd
lfd
and I received emailed messages similar to these (obviously the port and service name were didfferent in each email).
cpsrvd failed @ Sat Nov 15 06:21:29 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
Failure Reason: Unable to connect to port 2086

Hard Drive Failing, To Move A Account
I had a smart error emailed to me by the server, so I had Savvis do a hard drive test on my server. They told me my main drive has some bad blocks and is failing. I have a new drive in the tower as a slave already. I went into WHM and clicked in list accounts, the change partition button for a smaller account. That worked moving it from /home to /home2. However when I tried it with a larger account, it seemed to time out. I have all the clients moved accept one, who has a site with about 14 gigs of data.

I think the command would be: mv /home/admin /home2/admin

Is this correct, or is there a better way to do this?

Also if I move it in SSH, will WHM list accounts auto update itself, or will I need to do something for that as well?

How To Repace A Failing Hdd In A 3ware RAID 1
we use 3Ware's 8006-2LP sata raid controller in each of our servers for RAID1. Our servers are all Supermicro boxes with hot-swap driver carriers (ie. the 2 raided drives are in them)

One of the drives appears to be starting to crap itself as smartd is reporting issues (although tw_cli c0 shows the raid to be OK) incl. multi zone errors.

Anyway, I'd like to replace the failing drive before it becomes a real issue so i've bought a replacement (74gb raptor, just like the original) drive.

Now I've never had to replace a failing drive in any of our servers before and I used to think it would be a simple matter of simply popping out the failing drive's carrier, put the new drive in the carrier and stick it back in the server... and the raid controller would do the rest.

Yes a little naive I know but i've never had to do it before so never paid much attention .. Anyway, I've just read and re-read the 3ware docs for my controller and their instructions are VERY VAGUE ... however I do get the feeling that the process is move involved ie. I need to tell the controller (via cli or 3dm) to first 'remove' the failing drive from the raid ..and then add a new drive and then rebuild

However there is one catch .. 3dmd/3dm2 has NEVER worked on our (centos 4) servers - 3dmd crashes regularly and 3dm2 never worked. So yes I am stuck with the 3ware cli ... which I don't mind as long as someone can tell me the sequency of commands I need to issue

As this point I'm thinking what I need to do via cli is

1) tell raid controlloer to remove the failing drive on port 0

2) eject the drive carrier with the drive in question

3) insert new drive in carrier and re-insert into server

4) using tw_cli tell the controller to add the new drive to the array and to rebuild the array

Am I anywhere close to being correct? I'm sure there are some of you out there who've done this countless times before with the 3ware controllers and hotswap drive carriers ..

DNS Lookups Against Domains On My Server Are Suddenly Failing
DNS lookups against domains on my server are suddenly failing. The /etc/resolv.conf shows 3 entries for uplink DNS servers at my provider (theplanet). Bind is running, too.

What else could cause this? All sites are accessible via IP, but not by name anymore.

Cpanel/WHM server

Plesk: DNS Server (BIND) / SpamAssassin [FAILING]
I've had a VPS for a little over a month now, like with anything I guess hiccups are always apparent. But the VPS does starnge things even when I haven't changed anything...

For example I received an email from Watchdog, and noticed that DNS Server (BIND) and SpamAssassin is lways up and down... Thought people might have an idea as to why? Or if anyone has had these problems before?

"yum Update" Failing On CentOS 5
I'm not sure if this is todo with the imminent release of 5.2, but I'm getting the following messages when running "yum update":

Anyone else having problems or know how to resolve this? yum is only using the standard CentOS-Base repositories. Searching for yum-metadata-parse gives:
