Great job MasterSleepy!

Question for anyone who can help me. Via the crontab manager I had setup pandasoft antivirus scan to run every hour per day, week, month etc, (just to test) but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is my crontab:

cat /etc/crontab

1 * * * * root /usr/bin/pavcl / -aut -heu -aex

The /usr/bin/pavcl / -aut -heu -aex command does work from the consol as root.

I'm not sure if this helps but crontab -l produces the following:

no crontab for root

Am I missing something to run this? The pavcl file is executible, ownerhip is root etc.

Thank you kindly in advance, this is a great forum community.

Update: I found a remedy by having crontab run a script to have panda AV scan my drives instead of a command itself. Also, the cron log showed that the proggy was running at the prescribed times etc.

great contrib.

but i have one question:
why does the contrib not explore the existing entries in crontab?
on my sytem there are already some entries (logrotate, virus-scanner update, backup, ...) that are not listed in the contrib.

cheers

Hello,

I've just finished a contrib to manage crontab using a panel in the server-manager.

You can find it here

Regards.


I'm unable to download this RPM. Is it kept anywhere else ?

Regards,
William.

Nice job!! Crontab manager works "just out of the box" on my SME 6.5
Tried to figure out why an ordinary job added with crontab -e doesn´t work as root.
Then while searching i saw your rpm and tested it.
Still don't know why crontab -e jobs doesent work with SME.
Anyone have a clue regarding crontab -e added jobs?

Tried to do an install... just to see if it would installl and it would not.

I think that this is an excellent utility that I would like to see installed on my Server.
