Upgrade Centmin Crontab Update?

it shouldn't have deleted other cronjob setup as the routine that would do the cminfo_updater cronjob setup always includes the existing list of cronjobs in the new configuration

Code (Text):

if [[ -z "$(crontab -l 2>&1 | grep cminfo_updater)" ]]; then
    crontab -l > cronjoblist
    echo "0 */4 * * * /usr/bin/cminfo_updater 2>/dev/null" >> cronjoblist
    crontab cronjoblist
    rm -rf cronjoblist
    crontab -l
fi

which says if output from crontab -l command doesn't contain the word cminfo_updater via grep filter, then output contents of crontab -l and save to file cronjoblist. Then insert the cminfo_updater cronjob command via echo to end of cronjoblist file so that cronjoblist file has all existing crontab -l entries + the new cminfo_updater cronjob line. Then run crontab cronjoblist to register all the cronjoblist entries as cronjobs and then remove that cronjoblist file and then output the newly setup cronjobs via crontab -l.

So only way for you to have other cronjobs removed is if you removed them yourself or accidentally BEFORE this routine did crontab -l saving to cronjoblist. Which actually makes sense because if you accidentally wiped all cronjobs, then crontab -l command would come back empty and above routine wouln't find cminfo_updater via grep filter, so would trigger that above routine to setup the cminfo_updater cronjob.

All automatically setup cronjobs have similar logic, if you can't find the line via crontab -l and grep for the expected line, centmin.sh runs will automatically set it up appending to current crontab -l found entries. So centmin.sh never deletes cronjobs, only ever appends to the current cronjob entries listed/outputted from crontab -l command.

 

FYI, if you had used centmin.sh menu option 22 to install wordpress, the routine also backups up before and after cronjob entries for safe keeping at /home/nginx/domains/${vhostname}/cronjobs directory where ${vhostname} is your wordpress domain setup via centmin.sh menu option 22. So if you have missing cronjobs you can re-add them from those backups if they exist
