Cant access Cron after running a command

[magzen]

Hello

After running a command for deleting cache files my server froze and started generating lines from that command into cron

following is the line i used

Code: Select all

find /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/journal-cache/* -type f -mmin +180 -exec rm {} \;

i used WinSCP to go in and delete the Cron Job i created which had generated thousands of lines (2.5mb), doing it through putty would take to long /var/spool/cron/admin

but still after deleting the Cron Job and restarting the server i wasnt able to enter Cron in Vesta (it loads forever and gives 502 gateway time out) and it showed 9 Cron Jobs instead of 8 which it should have changed to after i deleted the job from the file

everything else seems to be running fine except for entering that tab, what can i do to solve this issue?

Thanks

anyone who know how to solve this issue?

How have you deleted the cron?
Try to rebuild the user.

Same issue for me. Ubuntu 16.04 Vesta 0.9.8 - Seems to be related to using cron command with 'find'.

A cron job with find command seems to output the results of the cron command as the cron job entry and also in the vesta conf/data files.

I was able to remove the faulty cron job for this user via command line.

Code: Select all

crontab -u mysuer -e edit.

Then I removed the improper bits from the vesta cron data file for this user.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/vesta/data/users/myuser/cron.conf

I also had to edit the vesta user conf and set the number of cronjobs to the correct number.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/vesta/data/users/myuser/user.conf
