Does R80.10 support cron job?

Rajput_Arvind — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 07:42:57 GMT

Hi,

We have existing MDS running on R77.30 where we have configured cron jobs. So can anyone let me know if I can copy these cron jobs as it is to R80.10 MDS.

Thanks,

Arvind Singh

Cron jobs are supported as in R77.30, but the question is more what the cron jobs are executing and if this is supported.

According to sk90441: Shell script created by the user is not executed as expected when it is run from the cron job on Gaia / SecurePlatform and sk77300: How to create a scheduled job (cron job) in Gaia with frequency of less than a day this is supported in any version:

Product	Security Gateway, Security Management, VSX
Version	R75.40, R75.40VS, R75.45, R75.46, R75.47, R76, R77, R77.10, R77.20, R77.30, R80, R80.10, R80.20, R80.30
OS	Gaia

So you could copy the called script and call it in a new cron job.

Best way to do this, would be to use Clish commands:
[Expert@MDS]# clish -c "show configuration cron"
add cron job MDS_backup command "/backup/scripts/BackupMDS >/dev/null 2>&1" recurrence daily time 1:00
add cron job MDS_LogClean command "/backup/scripts/LogRem >/dev/null 2>&1" recurrence daily time 0:00
[Expert@MDS]# crontab -l

##MDS_LogClean

##MDS_backup

It works, I have some customers with R80.XX and cron jobs to clean up logs.

These cron jobs are created for automatic policy push every night.

If this is supported then I can copy from jobs from R77.30 to R80.10. Is this correct?
