Cron Jobs

[MikeKieffer]

Is anyone else experiencing problems with cron jobs. All of mine quit working Thursday AM. They worked for over a year, and then just quit. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

Ok, I have had a ticket in with Bluehost about this now Since Friday. I got one email from them asking me how I knew they where not working. The response to that is the pages are not running, and I am not receiving the emails anymore.

Here is what I have done.
1- Verified that all the pages work that the cron job runs. I loaded each one of them in the browser, and they work.

2- Removed all my cron jobs and then re-added them. This did not fix the problem.

3- Went to an old backup file, and verified that all current files are the same. I looked at all the .something files in my root home directory. I also verified the files in the tmp directory.

Since bluehost is not helping on this one, can someone give me some more info on what to do.

There is a /cron/ directory on the backup that has one file in it. If I view the contents of the file, it has all the con jobs listed. I don't have SSH access, so I can't verify the permissions, etc on the file.

Any suggestions would be appreicated.....

I hate to think that this is the same problem after a whole week; but, I have set up a cron job to run... and I have yet to receive email notification that it has run (it should have run every 15 minutes)...

Does anyone know more info about the state of cron jobs at bluehost?

I tried to run a cron job but I got 100 emails teling me it wasnt working.

Amazing! I am not getting emails of confirmation nor emails telling me that it isn't working!

When did you try to run it?

Sorry, I should of updated this post. I called bluehost and was told that Cron was not running. They restarted it and everything started working again.
