  Hello :) Could you elaborate on what the specific cron job does or it's specific contents? How does it appear in cPanel or in the /var/spool/cron/user file? Thank you.

  Hi, I'm running Centos 6.6 WHM 11.48.0 (build 11) There was a cpanel update that happened on my server on Monday evening. I think I started getting these messages since that update, but I don't know if something else triggered it. Starting Monday evening, every time cron runs on one of the accounts (15 minutes) I get an email with the following message: shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory No input file specified. The cron job that is being called is: */15 * * * * php -f /home/[username]/public_html/cron.php I have not made any updates to the site in at least a week. In fact, this has been working fine since about 2011, but something has recently changed. Trying to find the problem but no luck so far. thanks

  This is typically caused by deleted, but not removed, virtfs mounted directory for the account. Please post the output from the following command: grep deleted /proc/mounts | grep $username
  Thank you.
