Some upgrade moved /etc/cron.hourly out of /etc/crontab but didn't copy the $PATH

[Frater]

I used to have several scripts running in /etc/cron.hourly and they stopped.
I investigated this and it turned out that commands out of /usr/local/sbin or /usr/local/bin aren't working anymore because the system can't find these commands.

I inspected /etc/crontab and these 2 folders are still in $PATH

I then noticed that /etc/cron.hourly was taken out of /etc/crontab and the entry got moved to /etc/cron.d/0hourly
The $PATH to /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin were not copied
I changed /etc/cron.d/0hourly and now it's working again.

Oh Odin, can you correct that upgrade?

Hi,

I do not think Plesk would make these changes.
Could you please tell us which Distrbution, and which Plesk version you are using?

Regards,
Kristian

It's Plesk 12.0 on CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

I think you're right and some CentOS upgrade did that.
When I first installed that system I added these folder in /etc/crontab 's $PATH
