But why did yo stop the ispCP Daemon ??

Greez BeNe

Because I was told to do so (to restart it I stoped and started it ...).

And like I said, he still is making the backups ...

[joximu]

Hi

maybe there are parts of old cronjobs still running...

ps aux | grep tar

/J

[Kwik]

Ok, I am not kidding. This is what I have inside my /etc/cron.d/ispcp

Quote:# 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

I rebootet my server and he is still making backups! Weird.

[BeNe]

And you are really sure that these Processes are running ?
No other Backupsoftware on the server ?
Please post a Process list when you mean that the Backup is running
as joxi said.

I do have zz-backup installed, but this is independent from your backup (right? . I am talking about the backups that will be in /var/www/virtual/user.tld/backups.

I will post a list ...

[joximu]

is there another file in /etc/cron.d/ which contains the jobs?
maybe a backup file in the same dir...?

grep backup /etc/cron.d/

/J

[Kwik]

No, but look what I found here ....

Is this like a leftover from RC2b?

[joximu]

That's what I meant

search /etc/cron*
and /var/spool/cron/tabs/*

/J

[Kwik]

It's in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file. Can I delete all the ispcp related entrys?
