Topic : Cron tab edit problem

When you have a long Cron job for example "wget -O - xxxxx.ro/scrape/filmeserialeonline.org-seriale-auto.php?page=17 >/dev/null" >2&1

when you edit a cron job and save it trims &1 from it

Not when adding, only when editing an existing one.

If i have a very long cron ( command + a very long link ( url address) ), and I edit it to change the hour for example, When i save it it trims some of my last characters.

Hi,

We are already aware of the issue and will be a releasing a new version next week which will have the fix.

Until then if you have any commands in CRON JOB which contain the character "&" please add a new CRON instead of editing the existing one.

Your cron is fine.
It's webuzo's interface that messes it up when it parses it.

Stop wasting your time using the GUI. Paste it directly into crontab.

Code

yum install nano -y

env EDITOR=nano crontab -e

That's it, 1 command. "env EDITOR=nano crontab -e".
Paste your full cron job there, it will work.
