Fedora :: Cron Shutdown But Not On Weekend
Jul 5, 2011
Just read through some cron manuals. (man -k cron).Didnt understood that much though.I'm a gamer and loosing control over time at nights.
So what i want is that my computer shuts down itself at latest 1:30 am. Do i need to set up the command for each day (monday, tuesday.. and so on) or is there an option simliar to my 'example' below?
€dit: Both examples should do the trick.
Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
30 1 * * 1,2,3,4,5 shutdown -h +5 Get some sleep dude!
30 1 * * 1-5 shutdown -h +5 Get some sleep dude!
Where as 1 to 5 would be all weekdays, but not saturday or sunday morning at 1:30am.If i can shorten it to 1 line instead of 7 lines (one per day of week) that would be great.

I'm playing with CRON to perform an automated shutdown. While I'm testing I want CRON to shutdown the PC every 10 min. Here is the crontab.
# crontab -l
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root /sbin/shutdown -h now
I see the command being run in the CRON log, but the PC doesn't shutdown.
Feb 11 11:06:17 localhost crontab[4808]: (root) LIST (root)
Feb 11 11:07:31 localhost crontab[4813]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Feb 11 11:07:58 localhost crontab[4813]: (root) END EDIT (root)
Feb 11 11:10:01 localhost CROND[4821]: (root) CMD (root /sbin/shutdown -h now)
How would I debug this to figure why my shutdown command is being ignored?

I have one linux server act as gateway which is run on fedora platform. The problem occured recently when it keeps on shutting down itself during the weekend.. I have no idea what caused this autoshutdown. For your info, the server is NOT scheduled to auto-shutdown mode.

I want my server to automatically shutdown at 23:59 and startup at 8:00. The startup is handled through by bios but the shutdown is to be managed through cron. I thought I had this working, I actually swear I had it working because I thought the uptime command showed the appropriate uptime. I happened to be up and was streaming a movie from my server when at the time it should've shutdown it actually just restarted. If I run the shutdown -h now command by itself it works well but the scheduled command just restarts the server. Here is the what is shown when I enter crontab -e.

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.)

Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

is it correct or I have to add some things more to stop internet access only on Saturday and Sunday.

I have a list of about 425 servers that are mostly redundant. I need to weed out the duplicate names so that I have a count of only the unique server hostnames. What is a good command to do this?

I walked into work this morning and had a message from the system that my root drive had very little space. I traced it down to my message.1 file and kern.log.1 file. Together, they were over 2 GB.I am able to browse the file shares.

I have installed on friday a new distro on my computer, ubuntu 10.04 lts on my 1GB ram and 3Ghz computer. It has dual booting system. Everything worked fine, i have even been using the xwindows and althought i must say that it felt a bit slow in time reaction to my typing still good enough. I left the computer running with no programs, just idle and now my computers screen is dead. I can not see anything.
I restarted the computer and in normal mode it goes black.I started in recovery mode and i manage to get to a console where I type startx and i see the next error.So I had a fresh install, i worked with the xserver (so i do not think is a driver problem) fine until i left the computer without running anything and the xserver crashed.

Is there something that blocks cron from running a shutdown command? I'm doing a daily bounce to break an attack (I have thread about that in security forum), but I always end up doing it manually. The cron log shows it being fired off at the right time...but the server never bounces. I thought maybe I just missed it, but there is nothing in messages that shows the server restarting (unlike when i do it manually, you see the start-up logging).

It seems that cron is not upgrading my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no GUI installed. I changed /etc/crontab and watched apt running:
Code:
ps -A | grep apt
showed it for a long time,
Code:
sudo tcpdump tcp
showed communication with canonical sites,
but:
Code:
top
did not show any apt using CPU

I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.

I have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/phplist.sh
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.

I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?

30 * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null http://moodle.name.name/moodle/admin/cron.php
when I run crontab -l it is not showing me anything, I am confused

I wish to run a cron job every half hour, where exactly do I put the job? The reason I am asking is that I am used to entering jobs into crontab, I am not used to using fedora and its cron layout.
