I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CRON SOFTWARE

Asked By egarcia 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/27/2012

I am always facing problem with ‘Cron’. I am a user of ‘Mandriva 2010.2’. I have made 2 entries for helping me in backing up the mythTv system. I have also executed the listing service scheduler. I need the same to be executed outside from the usual directory cron times. I have therefore separated the same but it is not working. After editing the crontab in an editor and also restarted cron program, nothing happened and even the rebooting of the system doesn’t solve the problem. However, when I am executing the same through command line it is working properly. If anybody knows the solution to solve this, please help me. I will thankful for all your help.

I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CRON SOFTWARE

Check to make sure that your hosting is not an issue in this problem. if it is, first fix it and then do the rest of the steps below.

1. If it is a shared Linux server then it is most likely that you get these type of errors. If the cron is placed in a sub folder of any place, grab it and place it in the main folder of the hosting domain.
2. In cron.php add the following thing set_time_limit(800). This will increase the time of the cron software before it prompts an error message or terminate the connection.
