cron.sh not working

Hey guys,

I'm using ISPConfig 3.1 in a Multiserver Setup.
On one server the cron.sh is not really working, I think. Logs aren't rotate, Trafficusage not in the Database, ... .
I created a small script (999-test.php) and put it in '/usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cron.d/'. The script should only write a file into a web-log folder but nothin happens. In cron.log it will be shown.

Code:

Included cronjob_test from /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cron.d/999-test.php -> will now run job.
Called run() for class cronjob_test
Job has schedule: * * * * *
Called onPrepare() for class cronjob_test
Called onBeforeRun() for class cronjob_test
Jobs next run is 1484386349
Date compare of 1484386349 and 1484386349 is 0
Jobs next run is now 2017-01-14 09:33:0
Called onRun() for class cronjob_test
Called onAfterRun() for class cronjob_test
Called onCompleted() for class cronjob_test
run job (cronjob_test) done.

Code:

<?php

class cronjob_test extends cronjob {

    // job schedule
    protected $_schedule = '* * * * *';

    /* this function is optional if it contains no custom code */
    public function onPrepare() {
        global $app;

        parent::onPrepare();
    }

    /* this function is optional if it contains no custom code */
    public function onBeforeRun() {
        global $app;

        return parent::onBeforeRun();
    }

    public function onRunJob() {
        global $app, $conf;

        touch('/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/marcohanisch.de/test.log');
           
        parent::onRunJob();
    }

    /* this function is optional if it contains no custom code */
    public function onAfterRun() {
        global $app;

        parent::onAfterRun();
    }

}

?>

Whats going wrong on my machine?

Thanks
Marco

 

can you run
php -r "touch ('/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/marcohanisch.de/test.log');"
witout any errors?
you can also trigger an action if touch() fails. if(!touch('log')) do_something

 

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Yes, no problems running this snippet from terminal

 

And you did not see the log with the current timestamp?
You can debug your class using php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_debug.php --cronjob=999-test.inc.php

 

Hey Florian,

thank you for your answer. I found the problem... For a reason not known to me the table "sys_cron" was not available. After I have created the table directly on the MySQL Server, every Job is working fine... Hmm..

I found in some jobs '$_run_at_new == true' at the top. Have taken it to my test job, after that it worked without any problems.
I have read something through the documentation and encountered the usage of this table...
https://fossies.org/dox/ISPConfig-3.1.1p1/cronjob_8inc_8php_source.html

Sometimes it is easier than you think.
