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.

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.
I have a number of PHP scripts that I would like to automatically run daily at midnight. I am currently running a VPS server but have no idea how to achieve this. I do have webmin on my sever but am unsure of what command I need to run.
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?
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?
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?
I tried using this perl script which supposedly restarts apache when server load reaches 5 and above
Code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w #use strict; $|++; open(LOAD,"/proc/loadavg") || die "couldn't open /proc/loadavg: $! "; my @load=split(/ /,<LOAD>); close(LOAD); if ($load[0] > 5) { `/sbin/service httpd restart`; } and placed it in /usr/local/script/loadavg.pl and chmod to 755
and added this to my crontab
*/1 * * * * root /usr/local/script/loadavg.pl
my server load went up to 20 and waited if it will automatically go down via the script but it seems it's not working. I had to restart apache manually.
I have just recently moved to Plesk web admin from cpanel. I have been trying to get the cron to run for the past 48 hours but no luck. Bellow is the code i have been trying to execute via cron but It does not run.
"/usr/bin/php /var/www/ vhosts/mydomain. com /httpdocs/billing/index.php cron"
This one's pretty simple really, but given the fact that I'm constantly running into crond stops with CPanel servers (no clue why, or where, but it's happening), I'll post this here. If it helps someone, then great, if not, hey, no worries.
Firstly, login as root to your server through ssh, however you usually do .
Next, the script (we'll call it /bin/croncheck.sh). Use whatever editor you choose to create the file.
I have root access to a server. Is it possible to create a cron that would restart my ftp and http server every so often. Like once a week or somthing. If so how would i do it?
