OK, I'm in "cron hell". I have asked cPanel to create a simple cron job that just appends one file to another, once a day, at 11:55pm. Thusly
55 23 * * * cat ~/access-logs/subdomain.myaccount.net >> ~/subdomain.myaccount.net/totalarchive
This is just to make a running access-log called "totalarchive" out of the daily access logs.
That command works fine, when I give it over ssh. It doesn't work at all when I schedule it with cron. So the command is executable. BTW, I have asked that cron notify me by e-mail when it does that command. I never get notified. Not even an error. So evidently it doesn't get executed because it isn't even trying to execute it!
My host providers are clueless: "Cron jobs aren't our responsibility!" Sez Level 2 support. Duh?
So my question is ... is this a cPanel issue, or a provider issue? I there somewhere in cPanel that you can simply turn off cron jobs? Help!
