All cron jobs removed

scottyadam · Feb 5, 2017

So I just migrated all the cpanel accounts from one server to another and there was one account with a cronjob that was pointing to somewhere that didn't exist, so I went into that user's control panel and deleted it.

I went into list the root's cron jobs and no nothing exists.

I know about the crontab -r which I always do crontab -l to avoid this issue.

This is a brand new install of whm and cpanel on a dedicated server from Godaddy. Is there any way other than going into /var/log/cron to get these back? Is there a default cron list that anyone can help me get this back? I'm super puzzled why deleting one non existent cron wiped the whole thing!

I'm tried searching for a default list (as I think there were 8or 9 in there)

Anyone with any ideas?

Hello,

Are you sure the root cron jobs were deleted? Do they not exist in the /var/spool/cron/root file?

Thank you.
