User crontab entries don't run after reboot until crontab is edited

I'm running 10.3.9 so I can't use launchctl for this.
I have a user on my system called backup. backup's only purpose is to take and store backups of some critical data on other local systems. I've written scripts that run from cron to take care of this, except it doesn't work after a reboot.
I've been careful with paths and all that but I'll include my crontab:
43 18 * * * ${HOME}/bin/backup-mysql
02 * * * * /usr/bin/printenv > /tmp/cronPrintenv.txt
When I boot my xserve, neither the printenv nor the backup-mysql command run at their scheduled times. The only cron-related activity in /var/log/system.log are root's jobs periodic daily, weekly and monthly.
After I notice the problem and edit and save the crontab by su'ing to the backup user and entering "crontab -e" and saving, even though I've made no changes, the backup user's cron jobs start up again, I can find the ouput from the printenv in tmp where I'd expect it, and my backup script runs fine.
Why don't these user cron jobs run after a reboot?
Thanks!

Has anyone discovered the answer to this? I'm dealing with a very similar issue here, getting a cron job to execute. In my case, it's actually a @reboot process, so it's fairly important to have it work when the machine restarts.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

CF10 App server running after reboot; but website unavailable until service restart

Hello, everyone.
I recently returned to a job I previously had after several months at a different job. Upon my return, I inherited someone else's dev system (my previous dev system, apparently, had been reimaged and given to someone else, after I left.)
This system originally had CF9 server on it (the ColdFusion9 folder is still here) and now has CF10. Using the built-in web server (no IIS, no Apache.)
Every time I boot/reboot the system, I can see in Computer Manage System that CF10 Application Server is, indeed, running. But if I try to open any of the pages that I am working on, I get an error message that the site can't be found.
I go into Computer Manage System, go to Services, right-click the CF10 Application Server, choose "Restart", wait for it to finish, and voila!, I can get a working page.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and/or how to remedy it so that CF will work immediately after boot/reboot without going to restart the service?
Thank you,

Good to hear you solved it. If you may still want to know exactly why that was causing an issue, I would propose something I didn’t yet see anyone else do: look specifically at the CF log called coldfusion-out.log. That is basically the “console log” when you run CF as a service, and it would be interesting to know what was in that log if you compared the startup messages in your working and failing examples.
The log tracks info generally for days if not weeks or months (depending on what else is logged in the file and how quickly it fills), but it may well give you insight into what was up. I’m not saying there WILL be something there. As Anit said, what you experienced was odd, but if there will be something logged anywhere about this, it may be there.
If nothing else, I leave this here for anyone else who has a similar sort of problem in the future.

Hi,
I suspect the IE require reboot and TS cannot catch this. So the TS cannot resume its state.

Scheduled jobs fail to run after reboot

A couple of months back we moved our CF 8 server to a VM (VMWare). We have noticed that after the server (Windows OS) is rebooted, all scheduled jobs do not run. There are no errors in the logs. One oddity is that after the reboot in the scheduler log there are a series of entries for all jobs with the ThreadID of "main", after that there are no other entries. Normally when the job runs the ThreadID will be something like “Scheduler-1”. Here is where it gets really strange. Simply logging into the console will “trigger” the jobs and they will run. I do not have to manually initiate on of the jobs. This can be repeated over and over simply by rebooting the server. Manually stopping and starting the service does not trigger this issue nor will it “kick start” the jobs to run.

Update:
I opened up a case with Microsoft Support and resolved the issue. Apperantly this is a known issue and the bug will be addressed in CU6. Microsoft was able to give me a hotfix (QFE_MOMEsc_4724.msi) which I applied on all systems that have SCOM Console. I
am told that this issue occurs when SCOM 2007 R2 CU5 runs on SQL 2008 R2.
I hope it helps to others that run into same problem.

My product is Oracle 8.1.7 32bits, and my AIX is 5.1 64bits, but I've heard that it works anyway!
Thanks.

John, I've runned this script as root. Then executed as oracle the runInstaller script. Today I've also acquired the 64bit version of the 8.1.7. The problem persists the same. So I'm presuming that there's nothing wrong in installing a 32bit oracle product over a 64bit AIX system. Right now I'm stopped at the installation process, waiting for an assistance. I've activated the 64bit mode on AIX 5.1, and started the installation again. I'm having a lot of error messages about some "makefile" at the ins_rdbms.mk script file. Don't know what to do!

Patches don't install after reboot

I just rant the update manager and downloaded a bunch of patches, but the ones that reqired a reboot did not install. Note, I did not reboot when it prompted me to because I was in the middle of something. I closed Update Manager and all my open programs, then rebooted. It just rebooted as normal, and when I ran Update Manager again, it still showed that there were patches that needed to be installed upon reboot that were already downloaded. Is there any way to force these to install?

You're not the only one. It's a known issue. See http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=100914&tstart=0

User exit ZXRSRU02 to get user's entry

Hi,
Will this code work to get get the user's entry and start processing it from program ZXRSRU02:
Data: L_S_CHANM TYPE RRKE_S_CHANM.
CASE I_S_RKB1D_INFOCUBE.
WHEN 'DEMOCUBE'.
L_S_CHANM-CHANM = 'PRODUCT'.
L_S_CHANM-MODE = RRKE_C_MODE-READ.
APPEND L_S_CHANM TO E_T_CHANM.
L_S_CHANM-CHANM = 'PRICE_TP'.
L_S_CHANM-MODE = RRKE_C_MODE-NO-SELECTION.
APPEND L_S_CHANM TO E_T_CHANM.
APPEND 'ACT_PRICE' TO E_T_KYFNM.
APPEND 'QUANTITY' TO E_T_KYFNM.
ENDCASE.
Will this code allow me to get the user's entry from the selection screen?
Tahnks,

Hi,
Yes your'e correct about the requirement.
Here are the links to what I have completed so far but I would get the value with 6 numbers similar to 736,278, for example. I am asking for more time to resolve this 6 number results but was told to use the program ZXRSRU02 and make use of virtual char. I would think to make use of Virtual Char is more complicated and more coding is require.

Not all users are displayed for log on after a reboot or startup...

Problem summary: Not all users are displayed for log on after a reboot or startup...
This problem only occurs after a fresh start-up or restart. The only users displayed are the initial (admin user) and "Guest". Two other (non-admin) users are not shown for log on.
To work around this problem and get them to log on we have to log on as the admin user, then we can see the other users in the Fast User Switching menu (top right-hand corner of the screen), listed under the current logged on user. After selecting the non-admin user we can log in and use the laptop as normal.
If we lock the screen, use fast user switching or log out all users; all users are available for log in, until a reboot is done; at which point the non-admin users disappear again and we have to log in as the admin user and use fast user switching again.
The laptops are both brand new MacBook Airs. The initial configuration of Mac OS X Yosemite was done using the Apple ID of the purchaser (parent) and then the OS was patched, immediately, through the App store (no further updates available as of the date of this posting). After this Family Sharing was activated and new users set up for the two children who will be using these laptops.
Has anybody else experienced this problem with Yosemite?
Cheers,
David.

David,
Users not enabled for FileVault unlock are only able to log into the computer after an unlock-enabled user has started or unlocked the drive. Once unlocked, the drive remains unlocked and available to all users, until the computer is restarted.
FileVault has to be On.
To Enable the users to be able to unlock FileVault Go to:
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > FileVault ( Tab ) > Click the Lock in the bottom left > Put in your administrator password > Should see an option to Enable Users > Enable User.
Hope that helps,
Weston

File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore. Why? Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both. File sharing is setup on both. Help.

I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple. Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help. Not so far.
I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1. File Sharing is set up on both. If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart. Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row. File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem. Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either. No problem there. Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac.
Why? Any ideas?

Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac. NEVER happens automatically.
This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored. Real bummer.

Applications still run after user logged off

Hi,
I have a w2k8r2 Terminal server and have a problem that have eluded me for some time now.
When a user is logged off, by either being disconnected or being inactive for a prolonged time, the user initiated programs are still running.
To be more exact, Some times when a user is logged off I have the following situation:
In the task manager on the users tab I cannot see the user anymore (nor in the remote desktop services manager), but in the Processes tab I can still see user initiated programs running. Furthermore I am not able to kill any of those programs, getting an
"Access is denied" error message.
My problem is that when the Terminal Server enters this "state" it becomes all buggy and itchy, causing loads of problems for the users that are already logged in (and for the new ones trying to log in). The only solution I have found is rebooting
the server.
Any solution, or further troubleshooting steps, are more than welcome. For me the next step is reinstalling which I really don't want

1. Check any task schedular is running for application or not,
Refer :
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/if-i-log-off-at-night-leave-computer-on-will/559eec53-1d2a-46f8-ac12-f0d4a32ab57a?msgId=b51d42b3-e727-40c0-b94e-8a01b31bf526
2. Also update Antivirus and scan completely.
3. Is it specific application or all the application, Which user opened in his session?
4. If specific application is running (In this scenario Outlook is running even user logs off), Try the below Citrix forum thread.
Refer :
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/301644-user-logs-off-process-outlookexe-stays-active-error-the-citrix-server-has-reached-its-concurrent-application-limit/
5. Check and update TCP/IP driver
Refer : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2465772/en-us
6. Also cross verify Dharmesh suggestions also.

OSX will not start after reboot from single user mode

Hello,
Yesterday my iBook G4 was only starting in BASH mode. I've looked at discussions describing Kernel Panic and have followed the advice posted to the following post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1553062#1553062
When I reboot I get past the language setup and the boot progress screen/progress bar gets almost complete before going to a continuously stalling/reloading blue screen.
When I try the command:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
described in one of the responses I get a 'No such file or directory' message
I assume that as when I try:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Setup\ Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS
It returns '-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 58912 16 Aug 21:10 Setup Assistant'
it is the file that is missing.
As the discussion thread I was following seemed to go off on a bunch of other tangents (and was completed), I am hoping somebody might have suggestions for my specific problem under this new discussion.

Welcome To  Discussions Kongxyz!
It will help if you first post some background info.
"...only starting in BASH mode."
Explain exactly what was happening, and what the screen displayed.
Exactly which model iBook G4 is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
Which version number of Panther 10.3.x is installed
What peripherals do you have connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
What happened between the last time the iBook started successfully, and when it didn't?
Have you made any changes, like upgrading the system, updated or installed any applications or programs, etc?
Have there been any unusual occurences, like freezes, crashes, power outages, etc?
Are you able to startup from the system install disc to run Disk Repair?
Have you run Repair Permissions?
Instructions posted below.
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures?
