kellybellydotnet Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 I had a couple of cron jobs set up via cPanel. One to check an e-mail account and update my moblog, and one to publish "Future" posts in my Movable Type photoblog. They were set to run once a week and once a day, respectively. I experienced no problems for many, many months ... until this week. I updated my site over the weekend with a few posts set to "Future" in MT. Yesterday I realized that they had never been published, so after checking the settings in MT I logged into my cPanel and checked the cron jobs. Both of them were gone. Completely. So I redefined the one for Movable Type; I left off the moblog one since I really don't use it anymore. I had posted something in the Backend forum yesterday regarding this issue, but my post went the way of my cron jobs ... it disappeared. So here I am, retyping this out (maybe another forum topic will work). I figured that before I posted this I should double check things ... so I logged into my cPanel again to verify that the MT cron job was still there ... it is ... but with the old settings. Plus, the cron for my moblog is back! Anyone have any clue what the heck is going on? Quote
Head Guru Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 They may have been disrupted when cPanel updates are running. I just peaked into your account and all the Cron Jobs are in fact there. At times cron jobs will be set aside to lower server loads, it really isnt anything to worry about. As you stated the cron job's are back and things are back to months and months of reliability.

The whole thing was just weird; I thought that maybe I was going crazy once I saw them back. Quote
