This was published on the forum a while back. We generally do this Manually. I would advise using this script to locate all (most? as of 2.0.5?) the necessary locations for cron's password storage.

NO WARRANTY, WE DID NOT MAKE THIS SCRIPT, WE MERELY CAPTURED IT WHEN IT WAS AVAILABLE!!

Should you choose to merely execute these commands, if it kills your dog you did it of your own free will and Poundteam is not responsible for your lack of ability to read the file and decide what to do with it! Remember: we did not write it, we just captured it in case someone needed it again in the future.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/astguiclient
wget http://www.poundteam.com/downloads/scripts/perl/ADMIN_update_cron_pass.pl.txt
mv ADMIN_update_cron_pass.pl.txt ADMIN_update_cron_pass.pl
chmod +x ADMIN_update_cron_pass.pl
perl ADMIN_update_cron_pass.pl
