Who execute the cron scripts?

hi guys,

just a question: Who is the user who executes the shell scripts set in the control panel?

thanks

 

It's the website user (like web1).

 

So I if ISPConfig uses web1 to execute a /var/www/mysite.com/web/myscript.sh script is the Max. Allowed Cronjob types (chrooted and full implies url) set as chrooted or full?

Furthermore, how have I to check the Custom Script Logs of each script executed by ISPConfig?

thanks falko

 

You must use chrooted or full as the type - URL won't work in your case.

 

Hi Falko,

thanks for your reply. Infact, I am using the chrooted mode but seems to me that the script doesn't start at all.

Is there a way to grab the log of each script executed by ISPConfig?

 

Hi Falko,

this is the log information in auth.log

Code:

# tail /var/log/auth.log
Mar 27 08:05:01 webserver CRON[32573]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user web3415
Mar 27 08:05:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[32596]: path /var/www/clients/client24/web56 is not owned by user 0
Mar 27 08:05:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[32596]: path /var/www/clients/client24/web56 is not owned by group 0
Mar 27 08:05:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[32596]: abort, /var/www/clients/client24/web56 is not a safe chroot jail.
Mar 27 08:10:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[373]: abort, homedir '/var/www/clients/client167/web3862' for user web3862 (1100) does not contain the jail separator <jail>/./<home>
Mar 27 08:10:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[376]: abort, /var/www/clients/client25/web3453 is not a safe chroot jail.

Seems that the system doesn't have any privileges for executing the crons. Is a ISPConfig bug? I have read this article, is this problem solved: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53553

thanks

 

Hi Till,

I am started with the version 3 and now I have the 3.0.4.2.

thanks

 

Hi Till,

I have dozen of crons actived. Have I delete all of them?

thanks

 

Hi Till,

I have updated ISPConfig and I have update all the cron entries too but I get this error:

Code:

jk_chrootsh[13747]: abort, homedir '/var/www/clients/client45/web101' for user web101 (1054) does not contain the jail separator <jail>/./<home>

how have I to solve this problem?

 

Good morning Till,

here we go:
# grep web101 /etc/passwd
web101:x:1054:1045::/var/www/clients/client45/web101:/bin/false

thanks

 

It's odd.

I have seen the crons and seems that cron entries log is:

Code:

Mar 28 13:19:01 webserver CRON[2055]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Mar 28 13:19:01 webserver CRON[2055]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root

but the default website folder permissions have :

Code:

/var/www/mydomain.com# ll
total 16
drwxr-x--x 2 web3873 client173 4096 Mar 28 11:01 cgi-bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root        40 Mar 28 11:01 log -> /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mydomain.com
drwxr-x--x 2 web3873 client173 4096 Mar 28 11:01 ssl
drwxrwxrwx 2 web3873 client173 4096 Mar 28 11:01 tmp
drwx--x--- 4 web3873 client173 4096 Mar 28 11:01 web

in this case if I attach a cron entry in the administration panel I get the error posted above, in the first post.

So which is the right permissions of this folder?

thanks

 

Now I get this error:

Code:

Mar 28 14:10:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[25571]: path /var/www/clients/client45/web101/./ is not owned by user 1054

Mar 28 14:10:01 webserver jk_chrootsh[25571]: abort, path /var/www/clients/client45/web101/./ is not owned by 1054

 

Code:

# ls -la /var/www/clients/client45/web101/home/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   root     4096 Mar 22 11:46 .
