<DIV>Hi Julian</DIV>
<DIV>I'm running the Zendto-Centos-64-3.61 VM and noticed that there are two cron jobs. I re-installed Zendto 3.61 this morning and before making any changes, I verified that both cron jobs are in the default vm image.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are the two cron jobs.</DIV>
<DIV>a) /etc/cron.d/zendto</DIV>
<DIV>5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php<BR>2 10 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php<BR>2 12 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>b) /var/spool/cron/root</DIV>
<DIV>5 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php<BR>2 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php ; /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since the cron job in Option A is the preferred one, the cron job for the root user (b) should be removed from default download image.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks</DIV>
<DIV>Brad</DIV></DIV>
