Hello,

Thanks for reply Igor.
Path is also problem. I don't know begin folder on plesk, earlier i have used Cpanel... Maybe vhosts/httpdocs/domain.tld/ or ?

Thanks.

Sorry for double post.
Nothing happens with content of folder i have entered... I don't get emails when cron is triggered, but i managed settings...
I have attached my schedule task details, may somebody help me ?

Thanks.

What is "httpdocs/new/"? Put full path there.

 

[igordr]

May you please write me how looks like full path of some folder by default on Plesk 11 ?

I also don't get details of triggered cron job by email, but i enabled it in settings...

Thanks.

Home > Tools & Settings > root > Add New task >

Command: rm -f /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/*

This command will delete all content for mydomain.com domain

Hello,

This command doesn't work for me...

rm -f /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/*

How can i check if schedule task option works at all ?
I don't get email when it's triggered, there is no any effect.

Thanks,
Igor

Check that you have scheduled tasks in cron:

crontab -l


Check /var/log/cron logfile. Be sure that task runs every day.

cron job setting

Hi,
I read this topic and i have the same problem.
i have a VPS with plesk 11.0.9 and centos 6. I want to set a schedules task that clear a directory content every hour.
I set task in plesk cp whit "root" user and every things is fine.

0 */1 * ** rm -rf /var/lib/php/session/*

but nothing happens!

in ssh, the above command works fine but in cronjob nothing!
i run the "crontab -l" command and see the cronjob task that set in plesk cp:

# crontab -l
MAILTO=info@....
0 */1 * ** rm -rf /var/lib/php/session/*

in cron log i just see:
date ... user crontab[#####] : root

• root
  
  How can i make the schedules task works?
  
  Regards

Try to point the full path to rm:
0 */1 * ** /bin/rm -rf /var/lib/php/session/*

Check also cron logs:
[root]# grep hourly /var/log/cron | tail
