cron.daily missing from webmin's cron listing

anon091 · 09-12-2014, 01:48 PM

Just installed logwatch on a server, and wanted to go into webmin to make sure it was in cron.daily, but webmin isn't showing /etc/cron.daily, although it shows /etc/cron.hourly.

0logwatch does show up in /etc/cron.daily looking on the server, but shouldn't webmin show it too?

webmin version?

anon091 · 09-23-2014, 12:40 PM

1.700

I have the same version,
and I see them (it, really) under "Scheduled Cron Jobs":

Code:

/etc/cron.daily/man-db
/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest
/etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common
/etc/cron.daily/passwd
/etc/cron.daily/bsdmainutils
/etc/cron.daily/standard
/etc/cron.daily/dpkg
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate
/etc/cron.daily/apt
/etc/cron.daily/aptitude
/etc/cron.daily/apport
/etc/cron.daily/apt-show-versions

after I installed the "The Webmin Cron Jobs module".
Are we on the same page so far?

anon091 · 09-23-2014, 01:46 PM

I think we're on the same page :-)

In webmin, when I go under System/Scheduled Cron Jobs, I only see the following stuff show up
root Yes /usr/lib64/sa/sa1 1 1
root No /usr/lib64/sa/sa1 600 6 &
root Yes /usr/lib64/sa/sa2 -A
root Yes /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron
root Yes /usr/sbin/raid-check

I don't get it. Webmin's the only thing that ever works right out of the box for me hahaha

and how was it installed and what OS/distro?

anon091 · 09-23-2014, 02:45 PM

The "installing the rpm" section of this
http://www.webmin.com/rpm.html

CentOS 6.5

and you've verified the directory /etc/cron.daily on the drive outside of webmin, and its contents?

anon091 · 09-23-2014, 04:35 PM

yup, I can cd to it and ls it and see stuff.

I'm fresh out of ideas today.
Perhaps a good night's sleep will help?
See you tomorrow.

anon091 · 09-23-2014, 04:56 PM

I tried sleeping on it a night too, it led to my post haha. ttyl.

Habitual · 09-23-2014, 08:10 PM

and it came up like an itch, I have to scratch.
Are you logging in as root or with a user that has sudo privs?

Itch scratched, Good Night.

anon091 · 09-24-2014, 08:11 AM

correct. logging in to webmin as root.

Habitual · 09-24-2014, 08:53 AM

Yeah, I'm not sure. I have the same version on Centos 6.5 that I got from

Code:

wget http://superb-dca2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.700/webmin-1.700-1.noarch.rpm

Lacking any real solution, I would remove the rpm by using

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps <package>

where <package> is result of

Code:

rpm -qa | grep webmin

and re-install using the wget link shown.

anon091 · 09-24-2014, 10:46 AM

Yeah, i'm kind of at a loss too. maybe i'll let this one hang in the breeze since it's minor, maybe someone else has seen and conquered this before. Thanks for all the suggestions though.
