Hello,
1996? Not sure where you're pulling that number from, DA was written 2002-2003+. Please avoid making stuff up!
You
can expect it to work.. if it isn't, then something is off and needs to be fixed.
As for the issue, there is a cronjob that runs 4 times a day to check and set the on/off status of all vacation messages. The command would be found in:
/etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron
(or /etc/crontab on freebsd)
and will look like:
Code:
2 0-23/6 * * * root echo 'action=vacation&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue;
So you'll first want to check your /var/log/cron log to ensure that the above echo command is in fact running 4 times a day (Every 6 hours) at minute :02.
Beyond that, there isn't a huge amount else to go wrong.
As for the code's functionality, the value=all version will grab the list of domains and users from /etc/virtual/domainowners. For each domain, go through /etc/virtual/domain.com/vacation.conf and decide to either turn on, or off, or do nothing to a vacation message account.
So the only other area that could go wrong, would be if your /etc/virtual/domainowners is not complete.
