This is NOT URGENT for ANYONE here...we volunteer our time, so expecting/asking for 'urgent' help is fairly rude. Secondly, if this is 'urgent', then why didn't you bother to try to look this up???
And if you already know there are cron jobs, you obviously already know how to list them...did you think about just redirecting that to a file, and copying it to the crontab on the new server, and restarting cron??? At least TRY to show some effort of your own.
And this is the SECOND thread you've opened with a title of 'urgent'. And if you're really an SE with a company, how did you get the job, if you don't know any commands, any basics, or even how to look things up??? Don't expect us to tell you each and every step on how to do/keep your job...if you're not qualified for it, it won't be long before you LOSE the job.
My guess is that he's actually a student. If you look at his other post, it definitely looks like a homework question. But it did at least give me an agreeable 15 minutes working out how I'd do it.

Which, by the way, is one of the solutions in the link I posted. DuckDuckGo is your friend.

This I didn't even reflect upon, but TB0ne has a point.

If I were convinced this was a post from an HPE employee I would be reporting it to HPE for bringing the company into disrepute.
I think this may be libel and could be worth deleting -- seriously, HPE don't want this turning up as representing them, I'm sure?

Sorry, but it probably is. I've seen posts from IBM employees asking about how to install programs via SMITTY....seriously....and they posted their IBM email addresses so we could 'ping them'.

I know from experience that this could be honest but I'm still not sure it's a good idea to let it lie for potential lible issues?
Hi everybody
Thanks for teaching me a good lesson.
and I am able to understand what to questioned and what to expect the answer from you guys.
first of i had never used such types of forum before.and somebody is trying to say me that he going to complain about me with my company. thanks for your good good answers.
I really appreciate you guys are very busy and you don't have the time to solve the problem because you guys have time to scokld me. and by the way I got the solution by myself...
thanks you indigenious guys.

I for one, did not scold you - but pointed you towards an answer. As for time, if I don't HAVE time, I MAKE time to solve problems. Why? Because I am a hacker.
I get it though, you think some of the responses to your question were a bit harsh. You may have a point, but so do the people who have replied in this thread.
Please read this and this, and do come back here if you get stuck some time in the future. We're really a helpful bunch of people.

..and if you bothered to read the LQ Rules (which you SHOULD HAVE when you signed up to post), the question guidelines, or just showed SOME effort of your own, you'd have gotten better answers.
Which, by the way, you DID get, didn't you??

And since you came here looking for help, why don't you bother telling us all what you did? Since, after YOU SAY:

HWW is exactly correct....bear in mind we DO NOT work for you/with you, so asking us to basically look things up for you, and send you an answer, is VERY rude on your part. You behave that way, you'll get answered that way. This is a place to come for HELP...that is something like:
"Hey everyone. I'm trying to do xxx, and have tried (yyy, zzz, ...), and have failed. I got these error(s)/message(s). Does anyone have any ideas?"
..shows that YOU did and tried something. You showed EFFORT. Something like:
"I'm trying to do xxx...tell me how, and ping me on my email address"
...indicates you've done/tried NOTHING, and are expecting others to look things up for you. Which will get you exactly nowhere.

Also, I can't shake the image of TB0ne actually SCREAMING at his monitor, which I find absolutely hilarious (with absolutely no disrespect, I agree 100% with your statement).

My reply was based upon the original post being either "help me! I lied my way into this job and need help" or "help me! My employer knows I have no clue and expects me to do something anyhow"
I have to admit here I work for a competing company but, really, I wanted this thread deleted as it just seems wrong.
If this is some kind of training course or test being undertaken then please state that also.
My response was due to frustration that somebody employed to do a task has to ask how to do so on the internet and does not know how to ask.
I only mention a similar employer to say "I know where you're coming from" and to suggest that the naming of an employer on the internet where everything is forever is not a good idea.
