Nethserver-crontabmanager

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

The purpose is to manage your crontab.

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-crontabmanager/nethserver-crontabmanager-0.0.3-1.ns6.sdl.noarch.rpm

You can either use the panel to set your cron job, or if you prefer, use the advanced panel and write exactly your desired parameters.

You have now a help page

Whoa! That’s cool, I’m already installing it. Thanks to developing that’s feature request:

Cron, Crontab Task Scheduler

I just want to pass the ajax cron of Owncloud to a cron system task and I was suprise to not find a feature to schedule a task or something to interact with Crontab. sitz sound have some interest too who else ? If you think it could be a nice to have, just like this post. If you have any preference between those cron visual scheduler you could also vote for one of those or propose another visual. 1’ [image] 2’ [image] 3’[image]

I’m sure that @medworthy @sitz and @JOduMonT are going to help us to test it

EDIT:
I love it

[root@botolo ~]# tail -3 /etc/crontab 
## cron for Clean my email every hour
0 * * * *  alessio rm -rf /var/lib/nethserver/vmail/alessio/Maildir/cur/*

[filippo_carletti]

0 * * * * alessio rm -rf /var/lib/nethserver/vmail/alessio/Maildir/cur/*

BTW, this command will fail: user alessio can’t delete is own email.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Right! Just wanted to make sure you’re paying attention

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

try with ‘root’

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

maybe there is an issue with the month setting, since I use the Month name, the setting ‘eachXmonth */X’ is maybe hard to understand, I should add the number of the month in the translation

[sitz (Roberto Sitzia)]

Thanks @stephdl

I missed you a lot

I will play with your crontabmanager and I will give you my feedback.

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

now the version is nethserver-crontabmanager-0.0.3-1, close of the final version

[sitz (Roberto Sitzia)]

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-crontabmanager/nethserver-crontabmanager-0.0.3-1.ns6.sdl.noarch.rpm

Hi @stephdl

as promised I have tried your work.
Your crontab-manager is essential and simple to use: good job and thank you for your contribution.

Just an hint: in the list page of crontab jobs I would add a column with the scheduling time to give administrator information at glance about every single job.

Hint above raise me a question: how to translate cronttab scheduling in a readable format?

I would like crontab-manager should be added to official repository and translated in every available language.

I’d like the same, @giacomo @davidep how can we move it on the forge?
Any QA process to pass?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

Any QA process to pass?

Well, yes:

http://dev.nethserver.org/projects/nethforge/wiki/NethForge#Quality-Assurance-QA

That document does not say that the package can be uploaded on nethforge-testing by the RPM author, provided his SSH public key is in packages.nethserver.org

If QA is ok, I’ll fork the original repo, add to NethServer organization on GitHub, build the RPM and release to nethforge.

BTW I’d like to delegate this last step to another person, by granting him upload permissions on nethforge, too.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Looks straightforward, what do you think @stephdl?

Might the above French man be our guy?

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

I love when people trust in me…but i’m just a man who is riding is life…

I will try to write a much longer answer and explain the vision i have on the work i provided/ will provide.

Actually at work…and with a baby at home who steals my time

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

I will try to write a much longer answer and explain the vision i have on the work i provided/ will provide.

Looking forward to your vision don’t worry man I know exactly what “baby at home” means.

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-crontabmanager/nethserver-crontabmanager-0.0.4-1.ns6.sdl.noarch.rpm

• now it is possible to enable/disabled the email notification to root
• the key is tested looking if the name is already used

[MartinsZB (Mārtiņš Zabarovskis)]

I have some problem.

I want to run following command every 15 minutes
llgal -d /home/nethserver_ibay/fotobanka -R -a --cf --exif Make,Model,DateTime --fe --lt --sy 400

I created a job in crontabmanager.
In /etc/crontab it looks nice:

## cron for Fotobankas apstrade
*/15 * * * *  root llgal -d /home/nethserver_ibay/fotobanka -R -a --cf --exif Make,Model,DateTime --fe --lt --sy 400

Also log shows, that it is executed:
Apr 30 20:30:02 servelis crond[27420]: (system) NULL security context for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing ()
Apr 30 20:30:02 servelis CROND[27422]: (root) CMD (llgal -d /home/nethserver_ibay/fotobanka -R -a --cf --exif Make,Model,DateTime --fe --lt --sy 400)

But the process do not happen. If I run the same command in terminal, all happens as expected.
what I miss?

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Can you try to put the command inside quote ‘bash command’ with the complete path to the command

[MartinsZB (Mārtiņš Zabarovskis)]

Same result.
May 1 00:00:01 servelis crond[3711]: (system) NULL security context for user, but SELinux in permissive mode, continuing ()
May 1 00:00:01 servelis CROND[3713]: (root) CMD (’/usr/local/bin/llgal -d /home/nethserver_ibay/fotobanka -R -a --cf --exif --fe --lt --sy 400 --title “M\305\253su bildes”’)

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

what about if you drop a file in /etc/cron.d/llegal with inside

*/15 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/llgal -d /home/nethserver_ibay/fotobanka -R -a --cf --exif --fe --lt --sy 400
