[cobalt-users] RAQ3 crond running but not executing anything

[Paul Ferwerda <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a RAQ3 on which crond appears to not be behaving, i.e. it doesn't appear to be executing anything. It stopped working a few days ago.

[root@www /etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond status
crond (pid 3164) is running...

Here is the crontab:

[root@www cron.daily]# cat ../crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
03,18,33,48 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-hourly
04,34 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.half-hourly
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
05 0,6,12,18 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-daily
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

# Monitor services to make sure everything is still okay.
0,15,30,45 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/swatch >>/var/cobalt/adm.log 2>&1

The /var/cobalt/crond.log is empty.

The last entry in the adm.log was from 4 days ago and there were no errors.

Any suggestions on how to find out what is going on?

Thanks,
Paul
