Cron on nightshade not running since Nov 2nd?

[Danny B.]

My cron stuff on nightshade ran on Nov 2nd at 6:05 UTC and since that nothing, although I have daily period set.

Is that only issue on my account or global?

Could somebody please check? Thank you.


Kind regards


Danny B.

for me the same. I just switched to cronie instead of crontab, which works.

I don't know if cronie is recommended, but

On nightshade, crontab *is* cronie.

The cron server is running and -after a quick test- working. The problem
seems to lie with emails, which are not sent.

I spoke about willow, and there crontab didn't work (I don't receive any  
mails from cron (everything goes to /dev/null), but I write log files). I  
don't know what's the case with nightshade. I didn't thought about it  
because I changed my cron and on another MMP project crontab never worked  
on willow (only cronie), so I thought it's some problem with crontab. So I  
thought it was only my problem and switched to cronie for my user account,  
too (and it worked again). But then a mail was written by Danny. So it  
seems to be a general problem with crontab on willow.

Well, Danny was talking about nightshade. It is indeed the case that in
willow crontab and cronie are different processes, and sometimes crontab
dies (seems to be running, though).
