    Hello,
    I'm just trying to figure out what may have gone wrong in an upgrade, we upgraded to ISPConfig 3.1.12 on Centos7.5 platform, running a master/master.
    I just wanted to verify that the primary master should have the following in the /etc/crontab file :-
    * * * * * root /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh > /dev/null >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log
    I re-added that line and assume I may have deleted that line while adjusting some other scripts ?
    The second relates to the secondary / mirror master does that also need a similar line in the crontab ?
    Regards,
    Brett

    HI Taleman,
    To get it running I'm using the /etc/crontab file with that line which needs the root user but clearly my install may have deleted the cron jobs potentially.
    running crontab -l as root for me at least returns "no crontab for root".
    An ls of /var/spool/cron has only one getmail file, possibly thats correct I'm not sure where the ispconfig files are meant to be if not /etc/crontab is not meant to be used.

    The root crontab on each server shall contain these lines:

    Code:
    * * * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh 2>&1 | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done
    * * * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron.sh 2>&1 | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done
    You can edit the root crontab with the command 'crontab -e'

    Thanks Till, I've moved the /etc/crontab entries to crontab -u root -e file with those two lines.
