View Full Version : Cron never running on RAQ3, why oh why?! (possible cause for no stats)

Oh, I'm making an educated guess here, but for some reason, I'm not getting any stats, not from webalizer, not from the RAQ3 internal stats.

This has been the case since march.

I strongly suspect the cause is that cron is simply not running!, possibly due to one of the Cobalt packages I installed back in March, but I can't be certain.

Is there any way to test this, and how would one fix such an issue, where do I look?

run this command
ps -aux | grep "crond"
this should tell you if cron is running or not....if there is no result cron is not running.

If cron is not running,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond start

will get it going again....

You cauld always install webmin to the raq. It gives you a lot of control over cron.

Indeed, cron was not running!

Maybe now my stats will run again, hmmf
