Cron Problems ?

rtlynn · #1 03-30-2007, 01:57 PM

Have a shared hosting account and have cron job set up to run a .sh script every hour. It's been running fine and doing what it needs to do for the past two weeks but suddenly - today at noon - it stopped.

I added crontab -l as a new entry with every minute as the schedule and put my email address in for notification - nothing.

anyone have a problem where cron goes out to lunch? any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan

Sounds like a support ticket is in order. Perhaps your cron permissions were removed or permissions changed. Happened to us on a reseller account a couple times when they did upgrades.

Maybe as gtgeorge said, your perm was fired, red the tos => once every 15 mins, not one minute.
Maybe your server has be upgraded and the call needs to be different.
Had some erratic behaviours as you and a
POST http://mydomain.com/serverstat/log.php > /dev/null resolves the problem (POST uppercase).
Not really "standard" but works without PhpSueexec.
Does'i affect the BW, I believe Apache recalculate the path.
