    Default crontab Edits Over Written

    I have made changes to crontab via SSH and crontab -e and the next day my changes are back to where they were. To be specific:
    10 2 * * * /scripts/upcp > /dev/null 2>&1
    0 23 * * * /scripts/cpbackup > /dev/null 2>&1
    is how it started and then I changed it too:
    10 2 * * * /scripts/upcp
    0 23 * * * /scripts/cpbackup
    The next day > /dev/null 2>&1 is added back and they have a different time.

    Is there some cPanel auto update writing over my changes?

    Default CronTab

    Hello,


    One thing you can try before entering a ticket is editing it through cpanel itself.

    This is a tutorial on cron jobs through cpanel.
    cPanel Tutorial: Cron Jobs

    Please let me know if you still have questions or if it is a persistent issue you can submit a ticket so we can take a look at your system.

    There is a link at the bottom of this post.

    Thank you,
    Matthew Curry
