Can't seem to figure this one | out... any help would be much appreciated. | | Thanks | Marc ************************************** Marc,
I see that you are not running cron as a service. You are starting it from the command window. Could it be that you were logged out at 4:30 in the morning of May 14? The cron that was running when you sent the message was only started on May 14 at 20:19:52 Use cron-config to launch cron as a service (or stay logged in).
