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 ??
Posted by psyxakias, 01-13-2008, 06:01 AM 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.

Posted by cannibal, 01-15-2008, 11:36 AM 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 !!!
Posted by Patrick, 01-15-2008, 11:50 AM 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.
Posted by cannibal, 01-15-2008, 11:53 AM how can I make it work every 5 hours !!!
Posted by Patrick, 01-15-2008, 12:15 PM The following should work: 0 */5 * * * clamd service restart
