Cron Commands
I've been reading through tutorials for setting up cron commands via cPanel, but everything I have tried does not work. What I need to do is simple - I just want to run a php file on my server once every 15 minutes.

Scheduled Consecutive Shell Commands Or As Cron Job
Is it possible to schedule consecutive shell commands to be run at a given time or every certain period (like every hour)? This is important for me as I want to schedule to run certain program and then input the following commands afterwards to do and complete the task, all automatically within the specified schedule. One example would be connecting to an FTP. First you'd need to input the ftp command to run the ftp program, then following that, input another commands consecutively within that session (the ftp program) to do and complete the task. I'm running KDE on CentOs4 btw. Is it even possible to do this on cron jobs?

Different Free MEM Via Different Commands
I am running a CPanel VPS and wanted to see whats the actual ram stats. (My package have 512 MB ram) The issue is, using two different methods, I am getting two different values. Via SSH, free -m gives this total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 512 204 307 0 0 0 -/+ buffers/cache: 204 307 Swap: 0 0 0 and while running a script that I have found Here in WHT Code: #!/bin/bash # # Revised 02-Feb-2007: include kernel memory (kmemsize) in 'used' calculation # and show percentages in output. # BEAN=`cat /proc/user_beancounters` GUAR=`echo "$BEAN" | grep vmguar | awk '{ print $4;}'` PRIV=`echo "$BEAN" | grep privvm | awk '{ print $2;}'` KMEM=`echo "$BEAN" | grep kmem | awk '{ print $3;}'` let TOTL=$GUAR/256 let KMMB=$KMEM/1048576 let PVMB=$PRIV/256 let USED=$KMMB+$PVMB let FREE=$TOTL-$USED if [ "$FREE" -gt "0" ]; then let UPER=$USED*100/$TOTL let FPER=100-$UPER else let UPER="100" let FPER="0" fi echo "VPS Memory:" echo " Total: $TOTL mb Used: $USED mb (${UPER}%) Free: $FREE mb (${FPER}%)" It gives Total: 512 mb Used: 482 mb (94%) Free: 30 mb (6%) Why such huge difference?? Also "top" command shows top - 02:44:04 up 1 day, 9:55, 2 users, load average: 1.35, 1.04, 0.94 Is that good for a a VPS with 512 RAM? (The site has extremely high traffic)

A Few Notes On Exim Commands
It may be useful to someone, sometimes the queded mail list gets gigantic because of some spammer and other emails that aren't spam could get deleted when using cPanel to control it. The better solution would obviously be to prevent spammers of sending all those mails, if you know a better solution on cPanel 11 please share it with me. ==== REMOVE MAILS BY ID ==== /usr/sbin/exim -v -Mrm (MAIL ID HERE) ==== LIST QUEDED MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bp ==== OUTPUT NUMBER OF QUEDED MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bpc ==== DELETE FROZEN MAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -bp | awk '$6~"frozen" { print $3 }' | xargs exim -Mrm ==== DELIVER FORCEFULLY EMAILS ==== /usr/sbin/exim -qff -v -C /etc/exim.conf & ==== FREEZE MAILS FROM SENDER ==== /usr/sbin/exiqgrep -i -f (MAIL ADDRESS HERE) | xargs exim -Mf ==== REMOVE MAILS FROM SENDER ==== /usr/sbin/exiqgrep -i -f (MAIL ADDRESS HERE) | xargs exim -Mrm

Executing ./ Commands Through Hackers Shells
I've been concerned about executing commands through (./) using php and perl shells on the server a new way of hacking these days is using perl shells , even if the perl was terminated on the server ,, or was forbidden for users hackers upload a (perl) program to the server to use it instead of the server's own perl any way ,, chmoding the (ls-cat-more-less) to 4750 seems to give permission denied when exeuting these programs on the server but the hackers also found that they could upload their own ls-cat-more-less programs and use them instead of the server's they also could rename them ls==>ki or anything and use them like this ./ki /etc/valiases -alXrt and the commands work like charm for them ./ <<--- this command uses the sh program on the server ,, ((sh which refers to bash on most servers)) so ./ki is the same as sh ki and bash ki so i tried chmoding sh with 4750 and that killed the exploit i was concerned about cpanel's and the website's functionality so i tried changing an accounts password and creating a database ,, they both worked fine so ,, if u thing chmoding 4750 sh is a bad idea please let me know and if you know any other ways of disabling all the perl scripts on the server

Execute Commands From Script As Some User
I'm trying to write some scripts that automate the installation of a website with a content management system. This includes creating domains, installing databases etc via plesk API. Now we have it creating the domains and databases via plesk, this is not the issue. It's permission problems issuing commands on the server. I need to have the script install the cms and this requires writing files to a folder on the server owned by a user which is created with the domain. e.g. user creates timsdomain.com with ftp user name tim Plesk makes directory on webserver called ~/vhosts/timsdomain.com/ inside this directory is a folder called httpdocs. All the files within this folder are owned by tim. Now my script (running as 'apache' in a folder owned by 'admin') needs to write/edit files to this directory as the user tim (or whatever user was created when the domain was set up). How can I do this from a php script? My idea would be to log in as the new user and then start issuing commands but I don't know how to login a user from a script. I've tried exec, exec_shell etc trying to log in via script as the new user using sudo/su/suid etc but they all ask for a password (for obvious reasons) but I cannot see a way to send the password to the command with the script. Ssh? I don't know. Help Here's some pseudocode that demonstrates what I'm trying to do, if you can think of a better way I'm all ears. Code: //User Fills in CMS/Domain information which becomes Form_Data //uses plesk to create blank domain, create email addresses and empty database Make_Domain(Form_Data) { Plesk = Get_Plesk_Object(); Plesk.Create_Domain(); Plesk.Create_Database(); Build_CMS(Form_Data); } //HERE IS WHERE I AM HAVING TROUBLE: I can't figure out how to change the user so I can install files to a // different directory other than the current user's directory (admin) Build_CMS(Form_Data) { change_to_user(Form_Data.ftp_username, FormData.ftp_password); unpack_CMS_archive_into(user_directory); //eg unpack cms.tar into 'timsdomain.com' (if the above command didn't switch the current directory to users home directory) //initialises CMS config files and installs CMS data to database Run_Install_Scripts_On_Server(Form_Data); //albeit complex, most important part of script Confirm_Tim_Is_Awesome(); } Confirm_Tim_Is_Awesome() { while (getTim().has_moustache()) { echo "<em>You're still awesome. </em>"; } }

MySQL Won't Accept Commands: Wrong Password
I am just trying out MySQL on the external Apache server. I must have written down the wrong password. My commands to enter mysql with a password results in denied access. What file do I undo in order to create a new password? I don't know the exact steps I'm supposed to take. I don't think this is a MySQL issue, but a server issue, right? I used to create databases and tables on my regular computer and left off the password altogether while I was practicing. Now I'm taking steps to do it on the actual server, and have run across this problem.

Executing A Queue Of Shell Commands From Php
This is following on from: [url] So I need to execute a list of commands via a cron job rather than having the script 'wait' for the shell to finish processing (as this was leading to time outs and all sorts of issues). I'm guessing the way to do this is to have my php set up a cron job to occur at some point in the near future (like current time + 1 min), then to prevent the job from repeating the next hour, it removes itself from the cron list as the final command. Does this sound like a reasonable way to go about executing a queue of shell commands from the browser that take an indefinite (possibly long) amount of time?

SSH Commands - Deleting Files And Escaping Characters
I have two quick questions. Question 1 I had a script create a backup of every file on my site using the following format "filename.php.bac". I want to delete these files now and I tired to use "rm *.bac" but that only deleted the files in the current directory. How can I delete ALL those files in EVERY directory and sub-directory starting at the public_html directory? Question 2 How can I escape semi-colon's (;) in a perl script? I'm trying to run a search+replace script to update some Analytics code and I have a ton of files to update but for some reason if there is a semi-colon in the find varable, it assumes that it has reached the end of the contents in that variable. Here is the code. Take a look at the $find variable and you will see extra semi-colon's. How do I tell the script to not treat those semi-colons as the end of the variable? .........

Per Second Cron Jobs?
Hey everyone, my friend's dad is looking for a web host that will allow his cron jobs to run every second. Most hosts apparently dont allow cron jobs faster than 5 seconds apart. How often a host can run cron jobs isn't really advertised on their sites so I'm having a bit of trouble finding a host. I've resorted to just sending emails to sales addresses asking about it. Does anyone know how I can find a host like this?

Does Cron Timeout?
Simply wondering, does cron timeout? I have heard mixed reports and can't find any good info. Personally i've run a cronjob for up to 6 minutes, but as my best method was sending myself emails through php, its not exactly a highly accurate testing method. On the same note, what would happen if one cronjob is running a php script for over 10 minutes, then another cron job starts on the same script, before the first one has finished?

Rsync And Cron

Remote Cron
I've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it. If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?

Cron / WGet
My crontab uses Wget to access a PHP file. It works just fine; however, the only problem is that each time the crontab is run it creates a file in the root of my site called filename.php.10XX filename is the name of the file that Wget runs and 10xx is just the number of times the tab has been run. How can I prevent these files from being created?

Cron Quit Working...
I 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?

Can Cron (back Ups)
I want to set up a cron job to make daily back-ups of my database, but by turning my site off first. This is how I envisage it to work: 1: rename '.htacess' (in public_html folder for the site) to .htaccess-open 2: rename '.htaccess-closed' to .htaccess // this closes the site down so no-one can write/access the db (they are basically shown a 'site down for maintenance' page - I already have the code for this) 3: mysqldump --opt (DB_NAME) -u (DB_USERNAME) -p(DB_PASSWORD) > /path/to/dbbackup-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql // this backs up the database 4: wait for 3 to finish 5: rename '.htaccess' to .htaccess-closed 6: rename '.htacess-open' to .htaccess // this opens the site back upIs this easy enough to do? Anyone got any tips/pointers?

How Do I Change The Cron Schedule
We have a Cron executed program which runs at certain times of the day. I need to changes these times. How do I do this? To be exact the program that is executed is called daily_charges.jsp And I have looked under etc/cron.daily and I see no call to this program FYI looking under etc/crontab I see this: 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 which obviously is the default Linux included Crontab file so this file cannot be the one that runs the daily crons. how can I find where is the Cron code that daily runs the program: daily_charges.jsp

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.

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.

How Can I Backup CPanel With Cron
I 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.

MySQLDUMP Cron Job
setting up a new cron job. I would like to have MySQLDUMP dump my specified database(s) into a specified folder using date and time stamps in the filename. I've done some searching on this but haven't really came up with a way to do all of this at once, or if I may need to setup a cron job to rename the file after the dump has completed. I may be going about this all wrong to begin with, I'm just looking for a very simple and reliable way to backup my databases. I'm testing this on a Shared Web Host account at this time which does have SSH shell access, but I wasn't sure if this makes a difference.

Cron - Not Working - Apache
I 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.
