• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Cron issues

CoreyC

New Pleskian
Hi All,

Plesk 10.4.44 & Ubuntu 10.04 - we are experiencing an issue with cron. The per-user cron entries are running fine... The /etc/cron.* crons never run.
Syslog indicates run-parts hourly, weekly.. whatnot, but none of the scripts in /etc/cron.* run.

Running them manually from the command line works great, even running them as "env -i /bin/bash --noprofile --norc". I changed all the hasbangs from sh to bash and still no change, even made a simple script in daily 00bs to copy a file and that failed.

Manually running run-parts /foo works great as well.

After realizing our plesk scripts have not run for over a year, then fixing all the issues those scripts reported - and getting clean run reports from them, we have noticed cron is just broke!

Also the anacron path is correct, nor do they run without the anacron header. Why is anacron required anyway... I would much rather use vixie cron, but there is no package in apt for this. Under gentoo, I have always used vixie and never had an issue with cron.

At this point I am out of things to try so I am open to input.

Thanks
