Hello,
cron stopped working yesterday, with no error messages being sent to my
email. Is that a known issue? What about other users cron?
Thank you!
Please check that your crontab ends with a newline. Consider using nano
to edit the file, since that editor will always end your document with a
newline. If that isn't the case, then cron silently fails exactly in the
manner you described. This is documented at
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Cron#crontab_syntax
There seemed to be a "mail jam", next day I had many messages in my inbox for
the previous 48 hours.
Thank you for your response, the link you mentioned is very useful.
