Dataskq doesnt run in cron

[jrn]

Hi DA wizards,

dataskq doesnt run every minute in my cron?

1. I cannot see it in my /var/log/cron (only a cronjob that runs every 3 minutes from a customer)
2. I have triggered it manually, but still, it doesn't alert me when a services stopped nor does it try to restart it.
3. When I looked into crontab (sudoed root) I only saw 1 line regarding sysbk
Do I need to add an entry for dataskq there?

Please advice, thanks.

I just ran "/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d2000"
And that shows me it 'hangs' when making backups at one client (size 3.3gb), how long can this take?

chmod 644 /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron

then

/sbin/service crond restart

Maybe a cron restart will help.

Sorry forgot to mention, but I already went thru the steps at http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=107

but thanks for your reply

Depending on the server resources and the filetype of the files, it can take up to a half hour.

Yes, it took some time but now that the backup process is finished and ftp'ed to a remote server the dataskq still doesnt run every minute.

Where can I check if it's setup correctly? Does it have to be in crontab?

Ok, I edited the /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron so that it would run dataskq every 2 minutes instead of every minute and now it actually seems to process the dataskq in cron (looking at the cron.log)

Isn't that weird? Is there a logical explanation for this?
