Crond Not Working

[Millar]

Hello everyone!

My server was working fine and then all of a sudden (I didn't even change anything) my cronjobs packed in.

My site relies heveily on frequent cronjobs and I have done all I can to find a solution but none will work.

When I check the Crond logs, it shows that the command has run but it hasn't actually run. Then when I run the exact command in shell it works just fine.

So I have no idea what is wrong and would greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer!

Also I have set my email for the cron output to be sent to which normally works whether or not the command works. No emails have been received though.

I have also tried restarted crond with no luck.

Thanks in advanced,
Millbob.

Hello,

If you have shell access, and if restarting crond service is fixing the issue, then you may add the following given line in the crontab

server[~]# crontab -e

*/5 * * * * /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart

Hello,

server[~]# crontab -e

*/5 * * * * /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart

This is not at all good to setup a cronjob to restart the service every 5 sec.

Check the log file /var/log/cron for more detailed error and fix that.
