Cronjob doesn´t work

[DalQuest]

finally works!!! ))))

obviously it had been the crond... gave it a try, writing that in putty: "crond"

after that when doing that check you mentioned, sawbuck, it would give back that then:
21067 ? S 0:00 crond
21077 pts/0 D 0:00 grep crond

And now all of a sudden the crons work (no mather wether with wget or php).

Thx a lot to all of you guys helping me out on that one

Good to hear. I apparently didn't read the entire response you got back the first time and missed the grep part of it.

For crond I receive that (using putty at root access):
19393 pts/0 D 0:00 grep crond

Now you need to find out if crond is starting when you boot your system, and if so, why it wasn't running when you were first trying this.

Ok, first step, see if crond is starting when the system starts by simply rebooting your system and checking the ps command output for the crond process.

It should list two entries as your last post showed, the actual crond process and the command you issued (i.e. ps | grep crond or something similar).

If it does show the two after rebooting, just check it often to make sure it is still running, say every couple hours the first day, then maybe twice the next day, them maybe once a day for a week. If all is good, it might have been nothing to worry about.

If you are still finding it not running there are other issues you need to address and people here are usually willing to help you find the answer.
