Hello members,
I have an update to this issue. for some reason the various cron files on
my VCSA have quite running. The "logrotate" file in cron.daily used to run daily. the log rotation
stopped on Aug 20, 2019. No rotation of any logs that are jobs in the various areas where cron jobs are defined.
I did run the logroate script manually and it did rotate the audit.log. For some reason, even though cron shows as
a pid (cron.pid) and shows in ps A | grep cron - nothing is happening - jobs are not running.
I have attempted to run a simple script as a cron job on an Esxi vCenter host.
Version 6.0 - latest.
I have tried crontab -e, placing script in cron.hourly, placing a file referencing the script in /etc/cron.d and running every 5 min.
it seems that crontab -3 references /var/spool/cron/tabs/root.
None of these methods worked. I have also stopped and restarted the cron pid
Is there any way to get a cron job I created to run from a script?
Thanks,
Eholz1
