• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

crontab gets trashed with comment lines

Hello,

I am developing a calendar web app and therefore I need to add cron jobs to the crontab of user wwwrun. The cron jobs are added without any problem.

Unfortunately the crontab of wwwrun now get trashed with comment lines like

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (crontab.wwwrun installed on Fri Apr 18 01:46:25 2008)
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $)

At the moment there are 393225 of them.

Could anyone give me a hint how I get rid of those lines? I am quite sure that they are not caused by my web app, because my test users added only two jobs as yet.

If I do a

crontab -u wwwrun crontab.wwwrun

Everything works for the moment. But after a while the crontab is trashed with comments again!!!

saludos,

franco
