Can't add Cron job

[nakamura00]

Hi,

I try to add a cron job in cPanel but it not show in entry after added.

when I go back it show empty !

I try to chmod crontab

#chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab
#chmod 1777 /var/spool/cron

And I try to update CP
#/scripts/upcp

But not working.

I'm go to /var/spool/cron It don't show user to create cron job it's show root only.

How to resolve them ?

Thank you !

Ask someone to login to your server and check. As far as I can see what you have done is correct so far.

0 23 * * * php -q /home/user/public_html/members/schedules/generate_invoice.php

0 23 * * * php -q /home/user/public_html/members/schedules/generate_invoice.php

Not sure if this'll help, but try it. Remove the word SPACE and leave one.


php -q /home/user/public_html/members/schedules/generate_invoice.phpSPACE/home/user/public_html/members/schedules/


I've got a cron in my cPanel running for years that updates a [email protected] stats page that looks like this. Works perfectly.


php -q -f /home/username/public_html/stats/fah.php /home/username/public_html/stats/ cron 0 10

Does it show up when exeucting the following as root:

crontab -l -u username

Does it show up when exeucting the following as root:

crontab -l -u username

no crontab for username

* username = username account for hosting


It's look like cronjob doesn't create username in /var/spool/cron

How to repair cronjob system ?

 

[cPanelKenneth]

Which version of cPanel are you using? full version number please.

Also,

What is your Operating System?

Does /etc/cron.allow exist?

Can you create a crontab manually from the command line as the user (not as root)?

WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-S16908

Does /etc/cron.allow exist?
- Yes, their exist

It's show

- How to do ?

I think it can but not working.

The existence of /etc/cron.allow will prevent any user not explicitly named in that file (aside from root) from creating cron jobs. If you are going to allow all users to create cron jobs, then simply remove the /etc/cron.allow file. Otherwise, you need to add the user names you want to grant access to cron to that file, one name per line.

Once one of those steps is done, your users should be able to create cron entries from within cPanel.

I just add username on to/etc/cron.allow

That's working !

I need to say "T h x a l o t" ;-)

 

[mstuebner]

I cannot confirm that, running:

WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-R16983
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

It doesn't make any difference whether or not the cron.allow is there with the users name in or this file is deleted. cPanel's cron menu doesn't create anything.

Still looking for a solution.

I have same problem here, any user who try to create cronjob, faild.

I try myself to create but nothing, when i list like root on shell crontab of some users, he told that no have crobjob of that user and in cPanel of user crontab is empty!

[[email protected] ~]# crontab -u user -l
no crontab for user

But, when i manualy create cronjob from shell, that working, but still dont see in cPanel that crontab exist.

[[email protected] ~]# crontab -u user -l
*/5 * * * * php /home2/user/public_html/stats/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

how to fix this?

my system is:
WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-R16983
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0


p.s: sorry for bad English.


and tnx. for advice.
