Parallels

Product: Ensim Pro X for Linux
Version: 10.2.0 (Fedora Core 6)
Date:  23-March-2007

Issue:

000-delay is cronjob introduced in FC6. The purpose is to delay cronjob processing by random amount to prevent high load on external servers that may be contacted by group of servers running cronjobs.

This job is fine for use at the top level system, but with Ensim Pro this job is propagated to every site and this causes cron.daily to run too long. In theory, the cron.daily could run longer than 24 hour cycle.

Procedure:

Step1:
Login as root user

Step2:
# rpm -q crontabs

If it shows crontabs-1.10-12.fc6 or higher version continue with step 3. if it does not go to step 5

Step3:
# cd /home/virtual/FILESYSTEMTEMPLATE/siteinfo/etc/cron.daily

Step4:
# edit 000-delay and write

#!/bin/bash
exit 0

Step5:
Edit /etc/virtualhosting/filelists/siteinfo.sh and search for line

S,rpm:crontabs

and replace it with:

S,rpm:crontabs !/etc/cron.daily/000-delay|/etc/cron.weekly/000-delay|/etc/cron.monthly/000-delay
