CentOS 5 :: No Items From /etc/cron.daily Run On 5.3

Oct 26, 2009

I'm having a very strange issue with cron on centos 5.3 64-bit. I have 3 cron scripts in /etc/cron.daily which run backups. They are as follows:

script1:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script1

script2:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script2

script3:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script3

The contents of the 3 /usr/local/bin scripts are ...

/usr/local/bin/backup-script1:
#!/bin/bash
synbak -s srv1 -m rsync
rsync -av --delete /data/backup/srv1/* root@::share/srv1/

To explain this, the 1st active line does a synbak backup and the 2nd active line rsyncs the backup data to a remote server.

/usr/local/bin/backup-script2:
#!/bin/bash
synbak -s srv2 -m rsync
rsync -av --delete /data/backup/srv2/* root@::share/srv2/

CentOS 5 :: Emptied Cron.daily Accidently ?

Nov 25, 2010

I made a big rookie mistake in a script in cron.daily, which emptied the directory when I tested it... now I'm left with an empty cron.daily directory, and from what I know there definitely were more scripts there than only my own. Does anybody know what scripts CentOS 5.4 (Final) needs in the cron.daily?

Debian Configuration :: Cron.daily Not Running Daily On Laptop?

May 31, 2011

I am running on a laptop and cron.daily is set to run at 0625 So I wonder what happens if my machine is not turned on at that time.. At that rate it could also be off for the other periods as well (weekly, monthly) Is there solution that will allow them to run once they are online after the appointed time? using a cron entry that runs every 15 or 5 or 1 minute.

Fedora :: No Output From Cron Jobs In /etc/cron.daily

Jan 29, 2011

I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).

The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.

The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.

I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.10 - Daily Cron Script Does Not Run

Feb 21, 2011

I'm with Ubuntu server 10.10. I created a script and put it in /etc/cron.daily. But looks it doesn't run (it didn't generate any log). The following is all I did.
Code:
root@chonseng1:/var/log# cat /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' command to install the new version when you edit this file and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, that none of the other crontabs do.

Fedora :: Executable File Into The '/etc/cron.daily' Directory

Jan 19, 2011

I have noticed that in the /etc directory there are some subdirectories of /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly. Also I have determined that there is a service included as part of the Fedora OS 'crond' which I have started with the use of 'service crond start'. My question is this. If I drop an executable file into the '/etc/cron.daily' directory will it just run? If not what configuration files should I go about editing to run my executable daily? There seems to be a pretty large network of cron related files. I'm trying to make sense out of all of it.

I have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root

I can see in /var/log/cron that it is running every 15 minutes but it has no effect. It is not doing the commands in the bash script.

If I run /usr/bin/phplist.sh right in the shell it works great.

CentOS 5 :: Website Timeout Daily And Return A Nscd Not Found Error?

Feb 4, 2010

I was having a problem on my squid server whereby 1 website would timeout daily and return a nscd not found error: [url]....There may be other sites but this is the only one I know of. A selection of other sites still work correctly, which is the strange thing.I have found that by restarting the dns cache everything works again: /etc/init.d/nscd restart.I never know quite when this will timeout so it is not very good for people accessing that site on the server.

CentOS 5 :: Installed Groups Removing Certain Items

Feb 2, 2010

I just installed CentOS 5.4 using the Server option. Most of our systems are currently Novell SLES but I am trying to experiment a little and see if we can't switch to CentOS. Forum support here is awesome! Hopefully, someday soon I'll be able to lend a hand on the forums and help out new users as well. Anyways, back to my original post. Once I installed CentOS I run yum grouplist and get the following:

[Code].....

I am a bit confused. The Installed Groups represent what is installed? If so, how do I remove items like DNS Name Server, Dialup Networking Support, etc. Also, what is the easiest way to remove or view these items with and without a gui?

CentOS 5 :: Looking For Cron Alternative?

Oct 27, 2010

I want to create some scheduled jobs in a CentOS server. These jobs are simple and repeatable, but the scheduling is complicated. I want a series of jobs to start every day but Monday, and not on the last day of the month. These jobs depend on software execution outside the server ( a Windows application) so if the Windows app fails, I need to temporarily suspend the cron jobs so I can straighten out the Windows server.

I've looked over some cron alternatives and nothing seems suitable. Am I stuck with cron and the limitations of crontab, or are there some programmatic things I can do in cron that I don't know about?

CentOS 5 :: Script Don't Obey Cron Orders?

Oct 23, 2009

I have an script called conection located in /etc/ppp ( /etc/ppp/conection)The content of the scrips is:

pppd call isp Running it by hand, it dials out to my ISP and fetch all my email from different accounts and turn-off the link. It works great. I decided to automate the process using the cron.

The problem is when cron execute it at the specified time, nothing happens. It doesn't even dials out. I checked /var/log/cron and cron says It was executed. But it doesn't. I try again running the script by hand and works fine.

CentOS 5 :: WGet Commands - Cron Job Not Running

May 25, 2010

I have the following cron configuration in the 'crontab' file:

SHELL=/bin/bash

MAILTO=<--- REMOVED -->
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

My focus is on the three WGET commands. The problem is the first one works fine, runs at 4:20 p.m., but the other two never run! If I visit [URL] it works fine but cron never runs it.

CentOS 5 :: Cron Job Runs At Incorrect Time - Clocks Seem Ok

Mar 9, 2010

Within a VMWare ESX virtual machine, I am running CentOS 5.2. (Actually, it is kind of a virtual appliance to run CollabNet's Teamforge - which I have installed for a trial). I've been dabling with Linux for a year or so, but I know I have much to learn.

I'm attempting to run a cron job that runs a backup script at 11pm. It works great, but unfortunately it runs at 11:30 am.

I created the cron job using 'crontab -e', while logged in as root. My cron job line is : 0 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /etc/tjt_backup/collabnet_backup.sh

If I type 'date', I get the correct date/time in my timezone: Tue Mar 9 16:27:12 CST 2010

If I type 'clock', I also get the correct date/time: Tue 09 Mar 2010 04:26:57 PM CST -0.463330 seconds

(Although, it appears there is a little drift)

CentOS 5 :: Ext4 And Moving Items To The Trashcan In Gnome Results In Nothing Showing In The Desktop Trashcan

May 21, 2010

On my home test 5.5 VM, after converting to ext4, moving items to the trashcan in Gnome results in nothing showing in the desktop Trashcan. Looks like a bug in gnome-vfs' support (or lack of it) for ext4, or have I got some other more subtle corruption going on? It's of little importance to me as I'm rarely in the GUI, but it would be nice to see confirmation or otherwise.

CentOS 5 :: Cron Errors - Segmentation Fault, Floating Point Exception

Dec 7, 2009

I'm running CentOS 5.4.In the last three days I've started to get various cron errors:

/bin/sh: line 1: 7066 Segmentation fault /usr/local/scripts/cron.email.sshd.access/cron.email.sshd.access.pl
/bin/sh: line 1: 4822 Floating point exceptionsudo -u mobile getmail --quiet
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so'

[code]...

Then yesterday I rebooted, and all the other errors seemed to have disappeared for now, but, I am now getting:

/bin/sh: line 1: 23600 Segmentation fault sudo -u mobile getmail --quiet

I have setup cron to call getmail once every 3 minutes, and I get this error about 4-6 times an hour.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Service Network Stop Automatically - Restart In Cron Tab

Jan 23, 2011

I am using
# uname -rmi
2.6.18-194.26.1.el5PAE i686 i386

# cat /etc/*release*
cat: /etc/lsb-release.d: Is a directory
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

I have noticed that after few days of ideal system it will stop its network interface. To resolve this I have to login to the machine it self and then issue
# service network start
Is this a feature. If this is not a feature then what is this. As an workaround I am thinking of adding service network restart in cron tab for everyday in night when I am not using it.
