Cron Job stopped running

[MasterGberry]

I set up a cron job back in April to backup some files to an FTP server. I recently found out that this cron job stopped working in June...it's september now, needless to say I am so thankful my server didn't crash, because all of my files were supposed to have been backed up....

I checked the processes, and crond is running, and i checked the logs for my cron job trying to be executed, and it doesn't appear that it was executed at all...my question is why?

It's set to go off at 2:15 AM everyday and execute the following command:

wget http://www.website.com/tasks/backup

(website.com is my website obviously)

I tested the wget command manually and it worked, so nothing is wrong with the php script, just for some reason the cron job stopped running...help? Thanks

Hello

Do you have this configured as a cron job under the account, or as a root cron job? Could you post the full cron job as it's configured?

Also, you may want to restart the "crond" service via:

# service crond restart

Thank you.

Hi. the server has been restarted several times in the past months, so i am not so sure it's the crond service, but rather the configuration of it, since it has not worked on any of the reboots...

Here is a ss of the cron job:

It is set up under the user account, not root.

Hi. I just submitted a ticket, on average how long do they take to be completed?

What is the ticket number? To follow up, we would need the number of the ticket submitted.

As for the length of time, it depends on the day of the week and how many other tickets are in queue.
