- Remove old duplicate cron jobs after migrated to iRedMail Enterprise Edition ("EE" for short). This is also mentioned in migration tutorial: https://docs.iredmail.org/iredmail.to.e … tion-tasks
- EE removes iRedAdmin(-Pro), so /opt/www/iredadmin/ is gone (it was a symbol link to /opt/www/iRedAdmin-*), please remove relevant cron job.

After the most recent deployment of iRedMail Enterprise I started getting emails indicating a crontab path problem.

Specifically, I'm seeing:

python3: can't open file '/opt/www/iredadmin/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I find this execution string in root's crontab, and the directory it points to (/opt/www/iredadmin) does not exist. There are a couple of old directories that contain tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py - iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-5.7 and iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-5.8.

/opt/www also appears to be where previous versions of Roundcube live - I have four versions in there, and the most recent one is symbolic linked to /opt/www/roundcubemail

ls -lat /opt/www/*

My questions:

- Are all of the entries in root's crontab relevant still? Should any of them need be removed or edited? If they are supposed to be there and running, where do I point the ones that will fail due to /opt/www/iredadmin not existing?

- What can I safely delete within /opt/www to clean up the old versions?
