Cron Quit Working...
Oct 6, 2007I have a dedicated CentOS 4.5 Server. However, as you can probably guess I am new to linux and managing a server...
Anyway, beginning of this month my crons quit working, I still receive emails as if they are ran but I can't get the scripts to actually execute.
I have not touched the crontabs or anything prior to them not working, they simply quit working... I did not notice immediatly they did not work, I am guessing that it was around the time of which I rebuilt apache to a new version of PHP. Today I tried changing them to "php path/to/script.php" and I also tried "path/to/php /path/to/script.php", neither worked.
Any ideas or suggestions as to how I can fix this?
Cron Job Not Working Properly
Jun 9, 2007I have a slight problem with a cron job I have setup.
I wanted to save a copy of iptables every hour to a folder, so I created a script... here it is:
Code:
varDate=`date +%y%m%d`
varTime=`date +%H%M`
filename="IPtablesBackup-$varDate-$varTime"
iptables-save -c > /etc/IPtablesBackup/$filename
and called is Backup-Script.sh
Now if I just execute the script will in root ./Backup-Script.sh I get a new file with the correct filename and iptables info is saved ! Great ! So then I thought, how can I setup this automatically every hour.
Which leads me on to my problem. I inputted "crontab -e" added this line
Code:
59 * * * * /etc/IPtablesBackup/Backup-Script.sh
The problem is the script is run, I know because it creates a new file with the correct time and date, however the file is empty?
I have set Backup-Script.sh to 777 and owner and group are both root?
Logrotate Cron Not Working
Jun 19, 2007I recently purchased a new dedicated server, since I have had this server (8 days) I have being receiving the following email:

error: httpd:1 glob failed for /var/log/httpd/*log
Cron - Not Working - Apache
Jul 4, 2007I did not realize the significance of the Apache sub-forum. I thought perhaps this would be a more general Server management query, but I realize now I should have posted in Apache forum.
I have been banging my head against the wall for the last couple of days trying to get cron jobs working. It's actually making me quite depressed, a lot of people are waiting on me to get this working, and for the life of me I see no light. I'm not a stupid person, i'm a PHP developer, and have some linux skills. This is the single most annoying issue I have had to deal with simply because I cannot find any troubleshooting methods to my issue.
I have tried every different combination of command under the sun and I cannot get any sign that the cron is running the commands.
I own a "virtual" dedicated server with a hosting company, I have full root access. Linux / Apache
The script file is a PHP file which simply mail() an email saying that cron is working, I am yet to receive this mail that was executed by cron.
I have ensured there are no errors in this simple PHP file, I have executed the script from the shell and all is well there..
So, firstly I tried to setup the cron table from CPanel, on the account where the script resides.
I used the following command combinations:
Code:
0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * cd "/home/username/public_html/"; php cron.php
0-59 * * * * wget [url]
with time combinations of:
* * * * *
to get the command to be executed evey minute, for testing purposes.
All these commands work fine when executed through the shell.
I set the mail address for cron output to be my mail address also.
I do not get any mail from cpanel with an overview of the cron executions.
I then gave up trying to get cron to work on that account, and decided to go root.
I logged into the shell via root, checked the cron table for root. I edited the root cron table (that contains commands for various cpanel scripts etc) to include a command to execute the php script, even with the script residing on the root directory.
I also added MAILTO="myemail@email.com" to the first line of the cron table.
I do not get any emails of the cron actions.
How can I check if the cron scheduler is working when I get no sign that the cron commands are being executed, and when I do not receive any cron emails? What methods are there for me to troubleshoot this issue?
Could it be possible that cron shedular is not active on my server?
I have lurked the net with great detail to find any method to troubleshoot my issue, and all the related pages I find are to do with troubleshooting the commands. I know my commands are fine, there is some other issue here.
Cron Job Not Working, Restart Services
Jan 1, 2008I'm having a bit of trouble with one cron job that doesn't seem to work.
I have others scripts that run hourly fine. However this one does not.
The script:
restart_monitoring.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
service iptables stop
service iptables start
/root/bandwidth_rules.sh
/root/portforward_config.sh
exit
The two scripts at the end just load a lot of iptables rules back in.
The cron job should run hourly (59th minute)
The cron job entry
Code:
59 * * * * /root/restart_monitoring.sh
I have restart crond to enable the new job, still doesn't run.
The job is to restart iptables, thus flushing all rules that I have running, then reloading them. I have figured out the problem to be with the "service iptables stop/start" command, it doesn't seem to like doing this...?
Cron As Postgres User Not Working
Jun 14, 2007I was hoping someone could shed some light on a cron related issue I'm having.
I've been using linux for a while...but never really used crons.
My cron is supposed to dump a postgres db in tar.gz format every minute (for testing purposes) but it doesn't.
I opened my cron in vim via:
Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ crontab -e
And here's the cron:
Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/pg_dump -D warranty_1_6_test | gzip -c > /var/www/test/postgres/backup$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M").tar.gz
Also:
Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ ls -lah /var/www/test/postgres/
total 8.0K
drwxrwxrwx 2 postgres postgres 4.0K 2007-06-14 12:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4.0K 2007-06-14 11:47 ..
Running the backup command via CLI works fine.
Cron Command Remove File Not Working
Jan 1, 2007I have edited /var/spool/cron/root file
and I've added this line:
*/1 * * * * rm -f /tmp/*.pl
and I have created file lol.pl
and after 10 minute file is still there, why?

Apache Is Working On Your CPanelŽ & WHM Server

Since doing this, my DNS hasn't fully propgated, so I'm then facing this message.

CPanel/WHM Server - Email Not Working
Dec 3, 2007Just got a new server online this week from VolumeDrive, and everything has been going just fine with my initial setup. I transferred over 7 domains from another cPanel/WHM machine and the transfer feature worked flawlessly.
Since I use Gmail for most of my communication, I haven't even had any email accounts setup on any of my domains in quite sometime. So knowing that I need a few setup for various correspondence, I went ahead and set one up tonight. I've setup and used mailboxes on cPanel machines before, and it's not exactly rocket science... pretty easy stuff.
But what's weird here is that when I attempt to click on the "Webmail" icon from directly within cPanel, the Horde login fails over and over again. Then, if I setup the account in Thunderbird or Outlook using the CORRECT account information (username@domain.com as the login -- and the appropriate password/server settings), the client login fails also.
To add to this weird behavior, I sent myself an email at the newly setup address with a 2mb attachment. Obviously I can't login to the account to see if the mail arrived, but at least it didn't bounce.
However, when I'm in cPanel under this domain and go to "Email Accounts", I'm showing "0 Bytes" for usage under the account where i know there should be at least 2mb worth of usage.

How Can I Backup CPanel With Cron
Nov 6, 2008I just went through a week of nightmares, because my host lost hard drives and stuff.. lost my data, etc.. what ever..
I want to work out how I can cron cPanel backups. I did a search online for a cPanel backup manager, but I didn't have much luck.
Or, maybe there's some other way to get regular backups?
I don't really need to backup my whole sites. I keep my files locally, but of course I don't have the databases locally -- or the email records.
All I "really" need is the database SQL files, so that I can rebuild my forums if need be, and also the email setup files -- because I have over 50 domains and I have emails set up on all of them.
I want to have them emailed to myself.
There's an option in cPanel too, which allows me to "generate/download a full backup".. well, how do I "restore" the backup? ie: I know how to backup and restore the home directory, databases and email stuff (there's 3 options in cPanel), but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to restore the full backup.
Anyway, can anyone give me advice on how to keep backups of my cPanel accounts? I don't trust hosts anymore. They say they back stuff up, but they never to.
Cpanel Cron Backup To Ftp
Nov 19, 2007Im setting up new windows server, packed with only FTP server (FileZilla) to remote backups.
How can i get my cpanel account make backups and upload them to my FTP server as an cron job? Offcourse i have option to backup via cpanel, but this is needed to do manually every time (setting remote ftp ip, account, passwd etc,).
Is there a option in cpanel / whm to do full-backup all my accounts in my reseller account? Or do i need to do it per account? Some of my servers is only reseller accounts without root access, only reseller account.

- Is there a better way to do this then cron?
