mrare Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi djbob, I went to login to my HelioHost account and I found that I couldn't get on! Reading another topic in here, I have a funny feeling it was a cron script I was running too often on one of my subdomains... Account Name: mrare Domain: http://mediumrare.heliohost.org If this is the case, could my account please be "unsuspended" and I will disable the script(s) as soon as I can login, otherwise could you please tell me why it was suspended. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 It was probably a cron script. Did you not notice the big, bold, red text on the cron page telling you not to run crons that often, and that your account will be suspended if you do?

One of my subdomains runs "eGroupWare" and I vaguely remember seeing something about cron scripts as I was flicking through the settings. It was one of the previous topics in this forum that made me click that it was potentially that that caused my account to be suspended...

Ashoat Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Okay, I've unsuspended your site. Make sure to turn off your crons immediately, or your site will be resuspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that was it... I'll soon find out if it wasn't though... Oh, and now that I look at the settings, I can't actually see any warning about crons leading to account suspension. Anyway, thanks djbob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set it so that it'll run programs automatically at whatever time you would like. However, the problem with running cron on a free host is that literally thousands of people will be using it, slowing the server down. Thus there is a 2 cron job limit for each account, meaning you can run up to 2 cron processes a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2s Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Along the same lines is there a easy way to see if something you install is automatically set to do any cron jobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
