[ZendTo] Re: illegal attempt to update using time #######

[Brad Beckenhauer]

Hi Julian
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.
 
There are the two cron jobs.
a) /etc/cron.d/zendto
5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 10 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 12 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
 
b) /var/spool/cron/root
5 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
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
 
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.
 
thanks
Brad

It happens when you call the 2 rrd scripts too close to each other.
Your root crontab should say this, so they stay well apart from each other (they were on the same command-line in earlier releases by mistake):

5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 10 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
2 12 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
