Related to the comment of the cron-job it seems like there are pending listener transactions

Process pending OX listener transactions

*/5 * * * * root [ -x /usr/share/univention-ox/process-listener ] && /usr/share/univention-ox/process-listener

I restarted univetion-ox, i checked if all join scripts are successfull but i dont know how to fix that issue.

Do you have any idea?

There is a cron job that runs every 5min, that’s intended: /etc/cron.d/univention-ox
You have probably configured an email address for cron or root to send emails to. Thus you are receiving the output of all cronjobs.

#3

Thank you, very much for the reply, yes that the cron. The question is why there is some output, i was trying to pipe it to /dev/null so that i only get stderr but the output is still there, so its not on stdout. Do i have to worry about the output?

*/5 * * * * root [ -x /usr/share/univention-ox/process-listener ] && /usr/share/univention-ox/process-listener > /dev/null

whats the propose of that script?

#4

Not as long as it’s in loglevel INFO.

The listener module ox-user will only run, when triggered by an LDAP change.
But when a previous operation on the OX database failed, it will be queued and should be retried after a while without requiring an LDAP change. So we trigger the listener module code regularly through a cronjob.
