 signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

• for SME9

yum install smeserver-crontab_manager --enablerepo=smecontribs 
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Use

You can access Crontab Manager interface in the server-manager and then you can easily create/delete crons.

After you have made your changes and saved the session the changes will be written to the file /etc/crontab

On SME versions prior to SME7 to update the crontab file you must issue the following from the command line

expand-template /etc/crontab.

Convert to UTF8

This contrib was developed with a non utf8 format to convert it safely after installation if you are unable to access to the server-manager panel, as root:

cd ~
wget http://smeserver.pialasse.com/fichiers/convert_utf-8.sh
sh convert_utf-8.sh

The convert_utf-8.sh file contents are as below:

#!/bin/bash
# Script to convert SME server panel to UTF-8

# last auhtor : Jean-Philippe Pialasse aka Unnilennium tests@pialasse.com

#History
# 2008-06-07 
# - added check with iconv to allow to run script as often as you need
# - added incremental backup of the locals 

# charset UTF-8
to=$(echo "UTF-8" | tr '[[:upper:]]' '[[:lower:]]')

# function to convert
function code() {
    count=0
    for f in ${files[*]}; do
        count=$(( $count + 1))
	# check if the file is explicitly  declared to be in utf8
        type="$(file "$f" | sed 's/^.*:\s\(UTF-8\|ASCII\)\s.*/\1/' | tr '[[:upper:]]' '[[:lower:]]')"
	# check if the file is in utf8 => return an error if not in UTF8
	converted="$(iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 --output=/dev/null $f 2>&1 )"
        # if the file is declared to be utf8 do nothing
	if [ "$type" = "$to" ]; then
            echo -n "$count: $f is already $to! => done."
