Cron Errors
Hi guys,
On a particular server of mine cron doesnt seem to be working. Its strange since I checked out that cron directory and the crons are correctly recorded, they are just arent running. I believe it started after one of the Cpanel updates.
Is there a way to restart Cron (If its even a service), or to do a reinstall of necessary apps?
Permissions perhaps?
Fresh out of ideas, help would be greatly appreciated

hai darkfire001,
There's never a need to restart cron, as it is build to run forever and it has no bugs .
If you need to have cron rereading its configuration files, use the contab command (e.g.: "crontab -e").

Thats what I thought was the case, which is why its so weird. My config looks fine :|
Could it perhaps be the actual commands? Like would things muck up if the permissions on wget were set improperly.

Try running the startup script for cron. Sounds like it may have been shut down and didn't restart. It's usually either:
Code:/etc/init.d/crond restart
Code:/etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart
