    Hi,
    I'm facing an issue on several of my ISPconfig installations related to the execution of the script /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron.sh.
    Seems like that the execution of the script never completes, so the subsequent executions are not started due to the lock file presence.
    Running the script manually shows only some deprecation warnings, but nothing useful to understand what's happening or why the run goes on indefinitely.
    Any suggestions?
    ISPconfig 3.3.0p2 running on Ubuntu 22.04.
    Thanks in advance

    Enable debug and run cron manually.

    Be aware that this script also does the backups; if you have backups enabled for websites and large sites, it can run for hours.

    Good to know! I just checked, but there are no backups scheduled...
    Unfortunately in my case we are not speaking of hours.... the script I killed today was running since 5th of November....

    Tried but I didn't find anything useful unfortunately.... Also, the second time I ran the script manually (after enabling debug mode) it completed correctly... That makes it harder to find the culprit....
