Sysadmin My Cronjob Doesn't Work

Hi @eva2000, thanks for creating Centminmod. I make my own backup script and use rclone addon to store my backup files to my Google Drive.

I created a bash script named backup.sh and located in root folder. When I run my script by command below, my script working OK

Code (Text):

/root/backup.sh

Then I use crontab -e to make a cronjob below for auto backup my data files once a day at 2PM

Code (Text):

0 2 * * * /root/backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

---

But the cronjob doesn't do the job, i try to run /root/backup.sh manually and it still works. Can you help me how to config correct cronjob for this situation. Thank you

 

Hi here is my backup content script

Code:

#!/bin/bash

SERVER_NAME=huaanhhuy_backup ## Folder in Google Drive
 
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%F")
BACKUP_DIR="/root/backup/$TIMESTAMP"
MYSQL_USER="root"
MYSQL=/usr/bin/mysql
MYSQL_PASSWORD="VCGaa*******QWOeXZRX7Z5l" ## Root MySQL Password
MYSQLDUMP=/usr/bin/mysqldump
SECONDS=0
 
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR/mysql"

echo "Backup Database In Process";
databases=`$MYSQL --user=$MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD -e "SHOW DATABASES;" | grep -Ev "(Database|information_schema|performance_schema|mysql)"`
 
for db in $databases; do
    $MYSQLDUMP --force --opt --user=$MYSQL_USER -p$MYSQL_PASSWORD $db | gzip > "$BACKUP_DIR/mysql/$db.gz"
done
echo "Backup Database Successful";
echo '';
 
echo "Backup Website In Process";
# Loop through /home directory
for D in /home/nginx/domains/*; do
    if [ -d "${D}" ]; then #If a directory
        domain=${D##*/} # Domain name
        echo "- "$domain;
    cd /home/nginx/domains/$domain/public
        zip -r $BACKUP_DIR/$domain.zip * -q -x /home/nginx/domains/$domain/public/wp-content/cache/**\* #Exclude cache
    fi
done
echo "Backup Website Successful";
echo '';


echo " Backup to Google Drive";
/usr/sbin/rclone --transfers=1 move $BACKUP_DIR "huaanhhuy:$SERVER_NAME/$TIMESTAMP" >> /var/log/rclone.log 2>&1  #remote: remote config name created in previous step.
# Clean up
rm -rf $BACKUP_DIR  #Delete backup directory on VPS
/usr/sbin/rclone -q --min-age 7d delete "huaanhhuy:$SERVER_NAME" #Remove all backups older than 7 day on Google Drive Backup Directory
/usr/sbin/rclone -q --min-age 7d rmdirs "huaanhhuy:$SERVER_NAME" #Remove all empty folders older than 7 day Google Drive Backup Directory
/usr/sbin/rclone cleanup "huaanhhuy:" #Cleanup Trash , Delete all files in trash directory
echo "Backup Gooogle Drive Successful";
echo '';
 
duration=$SECONDS
echo "Total $size, $(($duration / 60)) minutes and $(($duration % 60)) seconds elapsed."

FYI, huaanhhuy_backup is my backup Folder on Google Drive, huaanhhuy is my rclone config name at the creating config step. And my cronjob is on above post

 

I checked my cronjob listing and it still have my rclone backup cronjob.

Code:

My /var/log/rclone.log has nothing in it. When I run the backup script manually via /root/backup.sh command, the backup process is OK. The problem is that cronjob I set not running at the time I set up.

 

Thanks, but i think it belongs to system cron. I need to run
0 2 * * * /root/backup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
for my backup script
