Ever since I installed the SimpleFeatures plugin, I have had trouble with crontab executing the mover script every night. I can always force the mover script by simply giving the command line command or through unraid's GUI, but it never happens automatically.

 

Here is the SYSLOG from 2am when the mover is supposed to execute:

 

Mar 21 02:00:01 Tower crond[1213]: exit status 1 from user root /usr/local/sbin/mover |& logger
Mar 21 02:00:01 Tower kernel: crond[11870]: segfault at b784851c ip b784851c sp bf8614a4 error 15 in ld-2.11.1.so[b7848000+1000]

 

When I do,

crontab -l

, this is what I get.

 

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, but if they don't the average newbie
# might get quite perplexed about getting strange mail every 5 minutes. :^)
#
# 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
# times of the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs do not suit your
# needs, feel free to adjust them.
#
# Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour:
47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null
#
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null
#
# Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week:
30 4 * * 0 /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 1> /dev/null
#
# Run monthly cron jobs at 4:20 on the first day of the month:
20 4 1 * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 1> /dev/null

 

First, I should say that I am a Linux newbie so I maybe doing something completely stupid. But I thought that by doing this, I should be able to see the scheduled cron jobs, but I don't see this setup at 2 am.  On the Web GUI the execute time is set as " 0 2 * * * ", which is 2 AM everyday, right?

 

This seems to persist even after deleting all the plugins from SimpleFeatures. Is something else getting in the way? Any help someone can give wil be most appreciated.

 

Thanks!

See my sig the remove add-ons.

You are correct, I see no entry for the mover script either.

You are correct, I see no entry for the mover script either.

AS described, remove the add-ons, then reboot, then see if the crontab entry exists as expected.

 

Make sure you have the time correctly defined in the web-interface.  Your example shows a leading space prior to the 0.  There should not be a leading space.

Even more of a stupid question,

 

@dgaschk : I am assuming that you mean "The revert to stock system" is how you were meaning to instruct me to remove the add-ons?

 

Thanks so much,

 

I will try this and let you know.
