Hi All,

I receive a request from some users regarding to the Daily Spam Report. All the time the system send this report at 00:05 and for users who have Blackberry it's not good because they receive this mail in the middle of the night and they are wake up.

Now, what can I do to delay this report (let's say to be send on 07:00 AM)? Otherwise I need to cancel him...

Thank you!
 
You can edit the crontab template

# vi /var/lib/proxmox/templates/proxmox.crontab.in

(see 'man 5 crontab' for documentation about the format)

then run

# proxconfig -s

NOTE: You have to redo this setting after any software upgrade (servicepack).
 
If I understand well, I need to make this change after every service pack?

it's possible to add this option in the future options for PMG? I think it's better to have available the settings to set the hour when this report to be deliver to the user...or change from default to 07:00-09:00 AM. I think this is the hour when most of the users start the day work...

.

The changes will be made on this line:

Code:
5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/proxspamreport -y -p>/dev/null 2>&1

The firts digit (5) represent minute (available from 0 to 59) and 0 represend hour (from 0 to 23). If someone want to set the delivery hour to 8:15 AM we will set: 15 8 * *...

after that run proxconfig -s and if you want you can reboot the server!

No, there is currently no plan to implement that.

Hi All.

Are there any plans to creating a sheduler for daily users reports? Maybe in following release?

Thanks!
