|    crontab question    |
|    10 Jan 20 21:01:09    |
      From: dimke.fax@uni.de              Hi all,              maybe someone has made similar experience:              I have a "shared webhosting" account on a virtual machine, running               Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.              On this virtual host we have full crontab access and up to now this       worked as it should. But:              Some minutes ago I got a message from a friend, saying some monitoring       had stopped on this machine this afternoon, 10 hours ago or so. I checked       the crontab and there was no change made to it for weeks, but I could       confirm that it suddenly refused to work.              Since it was pointless to contact the "support" (LOL...), so, just for       interest I tried to "crontab -e" and I left if with ":wq", though I did       NOT change anything.              The funny thing is, that from that point on crontab worked again.              So, my question:              Does anyone have an idea what could have happened there?              Thanks -- I highly appreciate any hint!              Best regards,              Markus                     --       Please reply to group only.       For private email please use http://www.dipl-ing-kessler.de/email.htm              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
