CronJob not starting

[Kira]

Hi,

I've created a cronjob to run every minute (for testing), but it looks like it's never started..


The command I run is an executable python file:
/var/www/myDomain/cron/myCronJob.py

I used a * for every flag to run it every minute..


I can't see anything in the "ISP Cron Log" about my job, there are only a lot of errors like:

sh: /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl: No such file or directory

or:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/clients/client1/web43/var/run/mysqld': File exists

Any idea?

Thanks,
Kira

The ispc cron log is a ispconfig log file and not a log for your client cronjobs. So the errors that you see there are not related.

My guess is that you created a jailed cronjob, which is the default and as python is not within the jail, the cronjob can not be run. So either you create a unjailed cronjob or you would have to modify the jail and add python.

Hi,

I see this makes sense.

But, how do I create a unjailed cronjob? or alternatively, how do I add Python to the Jail?

Edit the client limits and select "Full Cron" as cron type.

or alternatively, how do I add Python to the Jail?

You might have to take a look into the jailkit documentation for that:
