Crontab scripts don't exist?

[BèrKessels]

I need to change some of the scripts run by ispconfig, first I want to change is the location where the statistics are compiled (webalizer).

$ sudo crontab -e

Gives me:

30 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php &> /dev/null
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 4 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.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
40 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/traffic.php &> /dev/null
05 02 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null

But

/root/ispconfig/

does not exist, so I am very curious how ispconfig does this, and where I should look for the scripts. Is it chrooted, shuold I look for /root relative to some dir?

Note: I am using Debian, in case that matters.

If /root/ispconfig does not exist, ISPConfig is not installed on your server or you deleted the directory which means you will have to reinstall ISPConfig completely.

Please post the output of:

ls -la /root/ispconfig

when you are logged in as root user.

Somehow sudo did not return any items

$ sudo ls -hal /root/ispconfig

returns nothing, while

$ sudo su

$ ls -hal /root/ispconfig

does return entries.

So: sorry, my fault. I was really surprised but your hint to 'log in as root' pointed me to the 'broken' sudo config.

Thanks. And call this 'closed'

Now you know the reason why we always recommend to not use sudo Sometimes you will get the strangest results when you dont use the "real" root account
