    1. I have created a client, website, ftp-user and shell-user;
    2. Created cron jobs with this parent website, Log output checked and the following command:
      Code:
      touch /var/www/clients/client1/web13/private/TEST && echo "TEST"
    3. Connected to server via ssh and tested command:
      Code:
      touch /var/www/clients/client1/web13/private/TEST && echo "TEST"
    4. Got the output to the console "TEST" and file was created.
    But file isn't updating every minute as expected and there are no /private/cron.log nor /private/cron_error.log in /var/www/clients/client1/web13/
    Maybe the problem in "chrooted"? My other site cron job list in cron.d was created without this "chrooted" prefix and they work just fine.
    Code:
    ls /etc/cron.d | grep web13
ispc_chrooted_web13
root@myserver:/etc/cron.d# cat /etc/cron.d/ispc_chrooted_web13
MAILTO=''
SHELL='/usr/sbin/jk_chrootsh'

*    *    *    *    *    web13    touch /var/www/clients/client1/web13/private/TEST && echo "TEST" >>/private/cron.log 2>>/private/cron_error.log #website
    Code:
    cat /var/log/syslog | grep TEST

    Linux cronjobs require that you use the full path of a command as the PATH to serafcvh for applications is not set by Linux cron. So its /usr/bin/touch and not just touch. and it's /bin/echo and not echo:

    /usr/bin/touch /var/www/clients/client1/web13/private/TEST && /bin/echo "TEST"

    Then you might have created a jailed cronjob, which means that you have to ensure that the touch and echo command are installed inside the jail and that you adjust the paths to match the jail:

    /usr/bin/touch /private/TEST && /bin/echo "TEST"

    I used ISPConfig web interface to create cron jobs, how could I create "jailed cronjob" this way? Is there some option in the interface?
    P.S. adding full path have no effect, still not working
    UPD: if you are talking about "Chroot Shell" option when creating a Shell User in ISP Config, it was set to "None". Should I try to set it to "Jailkit" and then switch back to "None" to test maybe? Or how can I be sure that my user and it's jobs are / not jailed?

    I have logged via SSH using this user, created cron tasks using "crontab -e" and it works like expected. Please, why it's not working when created in ISPConfig WEB-interface? I don't want to create shell user just to connect and create cron tasks using "crontab -e". Isn't "Cron Jobs" for creating cron jobs? What could I miss?

    There are
    . Client settings specify which kinds of cron jobs are available for the client.

    Thanks! The problem was that I was doing everything from "Admin" account. When I logged on as client everything became clear.
