restart cron daemon

[jamesbond]

Is this the proper way to restart the cron daemon on a cpanel server?

/etc/init.d/crond restart

 

[chirpy]

Yes, though it rarely should need to be restarted. Do you have a problem with it?

 

[jamesbond]

I already figured it out, the cron daemon was not running.
Someone at the datacenter was fixing a problem with the server, he must have killed the cron daemon.

After I started it again everything is working fine again.
