Hi - I have problems with a strange mail log behaviour: the /var/log/mail.ispconfigsave contains the daily logs from 16:45 to 23:59 only. example: log entrys between Sep 9 23:59 and Sep 10 16:45 are missing the daily logfiles /var/log/mail.info-YYYYMMDD.gz are containing the entries from 16:45 to 16:45 example: mail.info-20060909.gz first entry: Sep 8 16:45:15 last entry: Sep 9 16:45:02 Logrotation is as default: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate runs /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.conf is default, contains nothing related to 16:45 (only the default values: weekly, rotate 4, create) /etc/logrotate.d contains no postfix file the ispconfig jobs in crontab are croned as default (23:59, 0:30, 0:40 etc.), there is no cronjob around 16:45 (nevertheless the ispconfig log-jobs are reading the logfiles only, not cutting them, right?) I would like to have the logfiles cutted at 0:00 After looking for related threads here and asking google I´m quite confused now ..... Can anybody help or give me a hint, a url ..... thanks in advance!
Hi till&falko, sorry form my late reaction, was ill, no possibilty to check my mails Yes, the ispconfig cron jobs are all right and they´re default from the installation Code: 59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/ftp_logs.php &> /dev/null 59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/mail_logs.php &> /dev/null 59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/cleanup.php &> /dev/null 0,30 * * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php &> /dev/null 15 3,15 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/quota_msg.php &> /dev/null 30 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php &> /dev/null 40 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/traffic.php &> /dev/null 30 03 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null 00 04 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.php &> /dev/null contains: Code: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 what I have to check?
This cron job runs every 15 minutes, so it also runs at 16.45h. What's the output of Code: ls -la /usr/lib/cron/run-crons ? If it's a file, what's in it?
Yes, but why not 15:30 oder 7:15 or something else?
