Incron doesn't do anything












4















I intstalled on a new vm with centos 7 incron.



I try to make it work but a simple command does nothing.



incrontab -e :



/home/test IN_CLOSE_WRITE touch "$@/$#.new"


nothing special



When i watch the log cron i see this :



May 13 11:40:57 Minions incrond[2785]: (root) CMD (touch "/home/test/test.new")


but nothing is created in the directory



[root@Minions test]# ll
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 13 mai 11:40 test


Do you have an idea what is wrong ?

  • I have this exact same problem, incrond installed and running, and I see the commands in the cron log, but its like they're not actually run

    This is rather old but... maybe your incrond service isn't running.



    # systemctl enable incrond.service
    # systemctl start incrond.service
