Hi everyone
in Hestia Control Panel v1.9.2
in Configure Server: Cronjobs Table
it has this Error: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb file doesn’t exist
I checked the hestiaweb file doesn’t exist

Create and write the following content

MAILTO=""
CONTENT_TYPE="text/plain; charset=utf-8"
*/2 * * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-update-sys-queue restart

i created the hestiaweb file but when i did, reboot on the VPS the file was not there.

After adding those lines to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb you should execute this:

chmod 600 /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb
chown hestiaweb:hestiaweb /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb
5

I recreated the hestiaweb file,
and again the same, rebooted the VPS and again the file was there.

Strange, recreate the file again and modify owner, group and perms.

Before restart, show the output of these commands:

cat -A /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb
namei -mo /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb
7

cat: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb: No such file or directory

f: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/hestiaweb
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root var
drwxr-xr-x root root spool
drwxr-xr-x root root cron
drwx-wx–T root crontab crontabs
hestiaweb - No such file or directory

8

But did you recreate it before executing those commands?

9

I haven’t done anything yet, I just executed the commands.

10

I requested to recreate the file first :wink:

11

I haven’t rebooted yet.
