crontab -e

Hi,

Where is DA hiding the crontabs? If i do "crontab -e" i have to edit a new file.

Thanks.

Are you talking about /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron ?

Hero! Nice outfit though ...

Here are the contents of the file:

* * * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
2 0-23/6 * * * root echo 'action=vacation&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue;
#5 5 * * 0 root /sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -augm; /sbin/quotaon -a;
10 0 * * * root echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
20 4 1 * * root echo 'action=reset&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
0 4 * * * root echo 'action=check&value=license' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
10 0 * * * root echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

I've updated AWSTATS; it seems like the last entry is here twice. Can i safely remove one of them (or comment one of them)?

Thanks Yes, one of them should be removed.

Great!

So, lets look a little more specific to a AWStats issue (stopped working after update).

echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

So the value "action=tally&value=all" is dumped into "task.queue"

Then "dataskq" reads the value, and probably knows it has to process somekind of .sh file of AWStats to process the logfiles.

The problem: it doenst process the logfiles (awstats statistics are not updated!)

Now this is were my knowledge stops What to check?

you should check what command line he does

echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

and you will get the command line that he gonna execute

Hope it help

That would be:

action=tally&value=all

The real question is which awstats do you have? The one supplied by directadmin or the older awstats plugin?

 

[floyd]

And if using the directadmin supplied awstats do you have awstats enabled in directadmin.conf?

 

[sjaakfaal]

The awstats supplied with directadmin, and yes awstats is enabled in directadmin.conf

You should be able to go to Site Summary / Statistics / Logs and see the drop down box for Awstats.
