Last week some of the background batch jobs were reorganized to run under a less privileged user account, a good security practice.
Unfortunately the log files the batch jobs logged to didn't have their ownership updated, so the batch jobs were unable to actually run, due to being unable to open their output files. :P
I've fixed the file ownership; they should start updating in the next day or two per regular schedule.

I've checked enwiki and hewiki, and the special pages are still not updated.

Fixed the cron job for real this time... there were misleading log file entries which indicated the problem was different. :P
Actual bug was obsolete hardcoded paths in the batch scripts -- attempting to run PHP from /usr/local/bin and grabbing the cluster id from /etc/cluster which we apparently no longer use on new machines?
I've started a manual run of the small-wikis updates. Large wikis will continue on their regular schedule.
