recover_crontab

A PHP script to recover a destroyed crontab under Ubuntu 12.04 +

I ran this on MAC OSX 10.7 under MAMP

For this to work, you must follow the following steps:

1. Run "zgrep -i cron /var/log/syslog*" - This will output a log of your crontab from the last week to the terminal
2. Copy that output into a text file on your local machine
3. Name that textfile 'crontab_log'
4. Change 'USER' to the user for who's cron commands you are trying to recover
5. Run the script in a browser
