Crontab entry LTM Version 15.x not running
Hi @all, I updated out LTM BIG-IP VE from Ver. 13.x to 15.x. But now my cron entry for backup the Certs and ucs files are not running anymore. In Ver. 13 I had a file located under /etc/cron.d/f5backup with the following content: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=test@abc.de HOME=/var/tmp 2 0 * * * root /bin/bash /root/create_backup_bigip_v11.sh 1>/var/tmp/create_backup.log 2>&1 But on Ver. 15.x the cronjob is not running Also an entry with crontab -e is not working 2 0 * * * /root/create_backup_bigip_v11.sh Someone an idea?
Just upgraded to 12.1 and getting many 'cron' emails?
I just recently upgraded from 11.3 to 12.1 and am for some reason now getting my email appliance spammed with cron job emails. Any idea how to stop this? Since yesterday I have over 2,000 emails queued because the mail server doesn't recognize the domain name. Seems to happen every minute from the two F5 appliances. Example of one email: Sender: root@f5name.fqdn.com Recipient: postmaster@f5name.fqdn.com Subject: Cron /sbin/lsusb -v -d 0451:3410 >/dev/null
Adding Cron Jobs to the F5 - Is it OK? or should it be avoided?
Hi All, I have created a backup script that would reside on the F5 device, copy all ASM policies to XML and then push them to a remote fileshare. I have planned to have this script run via a cron job on the F5 once per month. When attempting to get approval from the business to implement this on the production devices, concern was raised around setting a cron job on the F5s. I personally did not feel that this would be an issue. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Are others setting Cron jobs on the F5 or avoiding doing so for any reason in particular. If I want to schedule a script to run every month, is there a better alternative that I could use on the F5? Thank you.
