Hi Guys,

I had some cornjob setup on our XI box for the root user to run scheduled backups etc. They seem to have stopped working ever since upgrade to 3.1 any reasons why ?

Cheers

Actually this was a bug in 3.0 which was the cause of us putting out 3.1 so quickly.

You should have a backup of your old root crontab in /tmp/root.crontab.orig

You should be able to restore this with

Code: Select all

crontab -u root /tmp/root.crontab.orig

You will want to edit the crontab after this and remove these lines as they have been moved to the /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi

Code: Select all

# Backup MySQL & PostgreSQL Databases
0   7 * * * root   /root/scripts/automysqlbackup
0   8 * * * root   /root/scripts/autopostgresqlbackup
