I'm sure this is straight forward - probably something to do with jailed but if you dont ask .... Setting up cron for an accounting system (InvoiceNinja) if I use `` cd [web_root] && php8.3 artisan schedule:run >>/private/cron.log 2>>/private/cron_error.log `` I can see in /etc/cron.d/ispc_chrooted_web1 it is translated as /web /web doesnt exist. ~/web does. The same issue affects the logging. If I tick logging i get `` <cron line stuff here > >>/private/cron.log 2>>/private/cron_error.log `` /private doesnt exist but ~/private does As such I get errors `` log 2>>/private/cron_error.log #somedomain.example.com -bash: /private/cron.log: No such file or directory `` Is this to do with Jail? Jailkit chroot app sections Thanks for your reply.
If its a jailed cronjob, then /web exists in the jail. because what a jail does is that it changes / from / to /var/www/clients/clientX/webY/ So when you as a SSH user (or a cronjob) is inside the jails and does a ls /, then you'll see that / is there. a cd [web_root] might not work for a jailed cronjob as the placeholder might contain the full path outside of the jail, try cd /web instead. When you are logged in as a jailed SSH user,/web is a symlink to /web for easier shell navigation. So ~/web is not a directory; it's just a symlink that points to the/web folder in the jail.
