All the cron jobs are missing?

Does anybody know why all the Chrome jobs would be missing I’m assuming they have been seen for quite some time I just now noticed this.

Is there a way to be able to restore them to default?

If not maybe a picture of what’s supposed to be there and I can rebuild it? I was wondering why backups stopped working. It looks like this happened sometime last March, March of 2025.

Cron jobs have been moved to hestiaweb user. You can see them here SettingsConfigurePanel Cronjobs

Show the output of these commands:

grep 'CRON.*hestiaweb' /var/log/syslog | tail
crontab -l -u hestiaweb
ls -la /var/spool/cron/crontabs/

Everything is fine with the cron jobs.

But there’s no cron jobs under cron Jobs? And there’s no backup job so backup’s not running.

I already told you what is happening:

OK I see them there but they’re not in the normal place, They should be under Cron jobs and backups should be working.

Again, Need my backups to be working and they’re not working so regardless of wherever the jobs are they’re not working and I don’t have any control over them. Backups have not run since early 2025.

Since version 1.9.x that is the normal place.

No, they shouldn’t.

Yes, backups should work.
