Problems with crontabs

H.W.B

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

After the 19th of april my crontabs stop to work.
I didn't change anything but there are microupdates from plesk installed

I use /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null 'http://<path>/cron.php'

I got a -: /usr/bin/wget: No such file or directory error

But when i manually enter the command everything is working ok.

This is already used for 5 Years, but stops working then.
Also other scheduled task don't run

There seems to be a problem.
Can you help me

Hello,

Just found out what the problem was.

For some reason when you edit the scheduled task in Plesk, there is a line added :

SHELL=/usr/local/psa/bin/chrootsh

I think this is done by plesk.
But that line is preventing the commands i use in the cron-tabs.
So deleting this line (or put ## infront of it) is solving the problem.
