 |
|
Hi, I have an issue with not working a cron job. I have a Gentoo installation with ZFS on root. Here's content of the file /etc/sanoid/sanoid.conf:
| Code: | [bpool]
use_template = production
recursive = yes
[rpool]
use_template = production
recursive = yes
[rpool/home/doskanoness]
use_template = backup
#############################
# templates below this line #
#############################
[template_production]
frequently = 0
hourly = 36
daily = 30
monthly = 3
yearly = 0
autosnap = yes
autoprune = yes
[template_backup]
frequently = 30
hourly = 30
daily = 90
monthly = 12
yearly = 0
autosnap = yes
autoprune = yes
[template_ignore]
autoprune = no
autosnap = no
monitor = no |
and the content of file /etc/cron.d/sanoid:
| Code: |
* * * * * root TZ=UTC /usr/bin/sanoid --cron |
/etc/cron.d/sanoid file has the 0644 permissions and is owned by root. rc-service cronie status shows that cronie service is running. I made a test cron job
| Code: | | * * * * * root echo dupa > /tmp/dupa.txt |
and it seems like cron is working.

Hi
plz try
| Code: |
grep -i sanoid /var/log/cron.log
|
There should be hints there.
ALSO
* * * * means run the cronjob every minute continuously.
Is this how it is done?
Is
TZ=UTC /usr/bin/sanoid --cron
a correct invocation?
Try manually runnung it from a terminal.

| In what way is the cron job not working? Have you tried recharging your shell prompt? |

| I finally solved it. The problem was in the /etc/cron.d/sanoid file. That file contained a non-ASCII character. |
