Cron Jobs

**FredFredrickson** · January 26th, 2004, 5:07 PM

Why aren't my cron jobs working anymore? They were functioning fine until about a week ago, they discontinued working. I have them set to happen every day but they don't...

I'm also not recieving any emails with the output for each job, so I can't tell if there was any errors causing the jobs not to run..

I'm on pixel by the way.. (fredrickville.com)

any ideas?

I agree with Jack on contacting support, but you might also want to check your permissions on what you're running the cron job with, as I think the permissions needs to be set to 755. Permissions aren't supposed to be able to change on their own, but I've had a few that has just mysteriously do so in the past, so it would probably just be good to rule this out.

The ones that I see are running fine

265 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem cron

fredrickville.com
root

pixel [~]# ps ax | grep cron
8265 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem cron

fredrickville.com

The crontab entries are correct....
