Has anyone else noticed this? I am having problems with cron on willow, which does not seem to be executing my crontab. I tried to test it by adding a line to my crontab that should execute every minute:
* * * * * /home/cbm/touch.sh
That script runs correctly from the command line, but cron does not seem to execute it. Some of my other other cronjobs appear not to have run in a couple days, even though they were working fine for months before.

Are you using Solaris crontab or cronie?

/usr/bin/crontab, like always. I have checked that the same scripts work with crontab on nightshade, so it is something specific to willow. But it was working correctly on willow up until a few days ago, when it seems to have broken somehow.

/usr/sbin/cron does seem to be running :S
fyi, cronie is working fine.

It is, but something is not right. The line
* * * * * /home/cbm/touch.sh
at the beginning of my crontab is not being executed. The script runs fine from the command line on the same host (and a script error should give an email from cron rather than silence, anyway).
fyi, cronie is working fine.
That's not particularly relevant for people who have set crontabs with /usr/bin/crontab

I know, I know. Wolfgang ten Weges may be right in that it's overloaded.

It was given as an aside, not as a solution although I guess you could migrate: crontab -l | cronie

I'm using cronie, and some of my cron jobs didn't start last night. More annoying failure are silent, I didn't noticed them until someone pointed out than some statistics were not updated.

the problem (don't know if it still exist) affected cronie and crontab. On my personal account I'm using crontab, on a MMP project I'm using cronie and both didn't execute most of the jobs the last day.

It looks like my password file for pywikipedia was killed in some sort of fashion because I was prompted for my bot's login. You may want to check this. All using pywikipedia might want to check this as it was the same timeframe, a day.
