a line in my crontab

Posted by cannibal, 01-13-2008, 05:50 AM
hello I found this line in my crontab file 0 7-23/3 * * * top.sh when it's running ? and what is it doing ??

It runs top.sh script every 3 hours (from 07:00 to 23:00), you may want to try locate top.sh or find / -name "top.sh" -print and check its code to find what is it about.

cannibal, Had you admitted any admin to work on your server lately due to any load issues? If yes, he might have set that.

Yes, I am paying for server managment plan I now found that they changed the line to 0 3 * * * clamd service restart what does this mean ??!! I reported in the past that email are not received outside the server in OUTLOCK and then mentioned something about clamd always going down !!!

That means that every day at 03:00 clamd will be restarted. Clamd is a popular anti-virus daemon for *NIX based systems. To be honest, it's a cheap fix on your servers managements behalf... but whatever works.

The following should work: 0 */5 * * * clamd service restart
