search for crontab

[viciflash]

thanks i've seen it as well. will there be any issues?

anyway i'll try to install a new one to copy the orig settings.

[viciflash]

and what would be the reason why the cron got deleted?

[viciflash]

i just experience this again last night. crontab entries got removed.

so i had to put it back again from the backup.

why is this happening?

[viciflash]

no one experience this yet?

The crontab entries don't delete themselves. Who else has access to your server?

[viciflash]

only 3 of us knows the password. so im wondering why it got deleted. and then after i restored the original cron entry, auto dial no longer works. i tried using the one posted in the ubuntu scratch install and works fine.

i haven't compared the differences of the two but im sure the orig is no longer working. i might redo this server and keep it more secure hopefully.

This happened to me once a _long_ time ago. The box didn't have access to a public IP route so it wasn't a security issue.

Never figured it out. I think I did a "chmod a=r" to the chrontab, didn't happen again.

[williamconley]

I've seen this on the forums a few times. I think it may have to do with a crontab -e bug / hiccup that may happen from time to time (or possibly inexperienced users with vi?). Each time it has happened it has been a very new user completely inexperienced with Linux.

typing "history" may give a hint of the last person who used crontab -e (and based on other command line choices to determine what else was going on, you may find that was the last time the system worked as well).

BUT: I'm just guessing, never had direct accss to a machine immediately after it happened.

Are you calling me a noob Bill?

[williamconley]

are you saying you've never been one? (We all started somewhere, except Matt, he was born here)

This happened to me once a _long_ time ago.

[cristian]

LOL

[carpenox]

this happens when u use the vicibox-certbot script on older vicibox9 iso's, but since this is in the goautodial forum im gonna guess that doesnt apply here
