Hello, I found a script (Bash?) that backups MySQL databases on a daily basis and I'd like to add a Cron job to run it. The script in question is located in my /home/user folder and its permissions are set to 777. In ISPConfig > Sites > Cron I've added it like this: Code: 55 16 * * * /home/user/ispc3backup.sh &> /dev/null Still, after the set time, I don't see the result of the script. When I ran it manually in SSH, it performed what was required of it flawlessly. The client under which the job is added has no restrictions for Cron in their settings. Could you help me find out what's wrong? Thank you.
Is the file /home/user/ispc3backup.sh owned by the web User of the site to wwhere you added the cronjob?
It wasn't, my mistake, so I chown-ed it to web3:client1, then changed the time of the cron job in ISPConfig... but no result, it doesn't appear to have been executed. Besides the actual backups as results, is there another way I could diagnose whether the cron job has been run?
Is this the same as Monitor > Show System-Log? If so, here are the last entries: Code: Mar 17 18:05:01 server CRON[10661]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done) Mar 17 18:05:01 server CRON[10662]: (getmail) CMD (/usr/local/bin/run-getmail.sh > /dev/null 2>> /dev/null) Mar 17 18:05:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from 127.0.0.1 Mar 17 18:05:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout.

Here's the whole Syslog available on ISPConfig: http://pastebin.com/qxJbT16E The thing is, the script in question does not appear anywhere - it's /home/user/ispc3backup.sh
