Whenever you post some error or you need help, it's really important for you to be as specific as possible and to provide information like the Operating System you're using, Vesta version, etc.

I suppose there is something wrong with the admin crontab. Run the following command to display the admin's crontab and copy/paste here the output, so we can see what's wrong. Omit any personal information (e.g. email address)

If using Ubuntu

Code: Select all

cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin

If using CentOS

Code: Select all

cat /var/spool/cron/admin

Thank's for reply.
I have a Debian 8.5 with VestaCP 0.9.8-16

It seems the second entry is wrong. Highlighted and underlined the mistake:
15 00 00 * * sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-queue traffic

You're asking for day 0 of the month, which does not exist. You can check your crontabs with http://crontab.guru/

Moreover I'm not sure if these php statements will work. I think you need to specify the full path to the executable /usr/bin/php (or wherever that is in your distribution) instead of just the php executable

[maniek015]

I generate this cron with Vesta. Cron with /usr/bin/php don't work too.

All the Cron job don't work, not only this

[maniek015]

And all this cronjob work's 2 days ago. I not made any change for cron.

[Felix]

Did you correct the mistake I noted on my previous message? If any job has an error, then none of them will execute.

[maniek015]

Now it's run! I made a change and now all cron's work perfectly!
Thanks a lot !
