Vesta Control Panel - Forum

This lil cron will change your demo account password every minute so people can access it anytime without manually changing the password. I have a working example below. Works on CentOS but dont know about Ubuntu or Debian

How to: (Please setup up a demo account for this to work)

1.) Login into VestaCP using your admin account
2.) Go to the Cron section
3.) Click on Add Cron Job
4.) Enter the following data:

Minute: */1
Hour: *
Day: *
Month: *
Day of Week: *
Command: sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password demo demo123

5.) Then save the cron and see the magic :)


A Working Example:

Control Panel Login:
https://vps.flectsoft.co.uk:8083/

Username: demo
Password: demo123

Change the password to anything, anytime of the day then within 1 minute it will change back within 1 minute due to a cron setup

There is error as below: (centos 6)

Cron: sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password demo demo123

Check sudoers and user there (can he sudo or not)

Yes, this command is working manually using sudo but using vesta cron I received above error in my email from system.

Try this command
