======  Why do the cronjobs (statistics, backups, etc.) don't work?  ======

If your cronjobs don't run you won't get statistics, there are no backups and no rootkit logs. The most common reason why they don't work is (except for a not running cron-daemon) that while creating the crontab something went wrong.

To check this open **/etc/cron.d/ispcp**. If there are ''{...}''-variables like in this fragment your crontab is wrong.

<code>
0,30 * * * * root {TRAFF_ROOT_DIR}/ispcp-srv-traff &>{LOG_DIR}/ispcp-srv-traff.log
0,30 * * * * root {TRAFF_ROOT_DIR}/ispcp-vrl-traff &>{LOG_DIR}/ispcp-vrl-traff.log
15,45 * * * * root {TRAFF_ROOT_DIR}/ispcp-vrl-traff-correction &>{LOG_DIR}/ispcp-vrl-traff-correction.log
</code>
You can fix this the following way:
Replace your existing crontab with the following one:

<code>
# delayed tasks START.

# Quota
@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/quota/ispcp-dsk-quota &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-dsk-quota.log

# Traffic
0,30	*	*	*	*  root /var/www/ispcp/engine/traffic/ispcp-srv-traff &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-srv-traff.log
0,30	*	*	*	*  root /var/www/ispcp/engine/traffic/ispcp-vrl-traff &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-vrl-traff.log
15,45	*	* 	*	*  root /var/www/ispcp/engine/traffic/ispcp-vrl-traff-correction &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-vrl-traff-correction.log

# customer logs
@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/tools/ispcp-httpd-logs-mngr &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-httpd-logs-mngr.log

# Backup
@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all yes &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-all-mngr.log
@daily root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-ispcp noreport &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-ispcp-mngr.log

# Remove config backups older than seven days
@daily root find /etc/ispcp/*/backup/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -mtime +7 -print | egrep '.*\.[0-9]+$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

# Remove Daemon Logs older than 14 days (except .gz files)
@daily root find /var/log/ispcp/* -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +14 -print | egrep '.*\.gz$' | xargs -r /bin/rm

# AWStats

# Rootkit Hunter

# Chkrootkit

# Look for and purge old sessions every 30 minutes
0,30 *     * * *     root   /var/www/ispcp/engine/tools/ispcpphptemp.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

# [{DMN_NAME}] backup task START.
# [{DMN_NAME}] backup task END.

# [{DMN_NAME}]:{CRONJOB_ID} custom task START.
# [{DMN_NAME}]:{CRONJOB_ID} custom task END.

# [{DMN_NAME}] AWStats static tasks START.
# [{DMN_NAME}] AWStats static tasks END.

# delayed tasks END.
</code>

Replace also the working copy **/etc/ispcp/cron.d/working/ispcp**.

If you run static AWStats you now have to regenerate the config-files.

When your crontab is wrong since an update you can also search for a correct old crontab in **/etc/ispcp/cron.d/backup/**.
