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

Kumran - start a new thread ; this one started in 2006.

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.
