cronjob not running
 

Hi, appreciate if someone can help me with this problem, at my client's place, client complains that, the cronjob seems to be not running at all. but when i checked the crond status all are okay (as below)

[root@saga init.d]# ./crond status
crond (pid 6142) is running...
[root@saga init.d]# ps aux | grep -i cron | grep -v grep
root 6142 0.0 0.0 78376 1388 ? Ss Sep18 0:00 crond
[root@saga init.d]#

can i know how can to troubleshoot?

in one of the crontab list,,the database backup suppose to be running, but it is not running. when i run manually, it successfully backsup.

Advance thanks,
Kumaran

Show the crontab entries and also show the content of the scripts being called

I would check the output of

for errors in the syntax of the cron entry.

When I've had cron jobs not work, it has always been because I botched the syntax, assuming the script I was running did work from the command line.
