My scheduler is no longer working.......

[vw-kombi]

I first posted in the userscripts as all scripts that used the cron scheduler were not firing.

I have now noticed my mover is not working and has not been for a week - 200GB of stuff is moving now after a manual move.

I suspect the unraid cron service is not working in for some reason.

I know a reboot / restart will probably fixed this, but I would prefer to not have to do that if possible.

 

Anyone able to help ?

post your diagnostics and the output of the following commands:

crontab -l
cat /etc/cron.d/root

Hi,

Thanks for the assist squid.

Here is all the stuff.

 

 

root@Tower:~# crontab -l
# If you don't want the output of a cron job mailed to you, you have to direct
# any output to /dev/null.  We'll do this here since these jobs should run
# properly on a newly installed system.  If a script fails, run-parts will
# mail a notice to root.

# Run the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs.
# Jobs that need different timing may be entered into the crontab as before,
# but most really don't need greater granularity than this.  If the exact

# needs, feel free to adjust them.
#
# Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour:

#
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:

Update - 

I did not need all those tjhings in there as I am happy with the daily start time of the built in schedule - so I change a few to daily, and I left only two user scripts with cron type shedules - the 'every 5 minute' one and the nightly permissions fix at 23:45.

I noticed the 5 minute jobs started running - so all is well again I am assuming now.  

I have no idea why they all stopped 9 days ago - but there you are......

I had an issue with the name (or maybe description) of a script I didn't follow those rules and the plugin does not give any feedback, it just blocker all scripts from running.

The name doesn't matter but it can only contain the following characters: letters ([A-Za-z]), digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), periods ("."), and spaces (" ")

But maybe it was not your issue.

Wouldn't have anything to do with mover.  I'd suggest a reboot.

As I said above - its fixed now.

I removed a load to the 'normal' naming (every day, every week etc).

Then it kicked in.

I had forgot all the usual ones that were not running that came through overnight also.

Plus it was parity check day overnight.
