I'm running web2py locally with Windows 7 and live on a Linux Ubuntu server and I haven't been able to get my cron job to run in either.
My crontab looks like this: */1 * * * * root *autoemail/send_autoemails and my function works fine when called manually. It also ends with db.commit(). Other than that I don't know what else to do get it working although I really didn't understand all of the web2py book section on Cron, specifically when it came to soft/hard/external cron and all of that. I saw a web2py thread that perhaps cron was going to be replaced? Perhaps that has something to do with this? Any ideas about how I can troubleshoot this are greatly appreciated.
