Cronjob not run after changed server date

[Fauziah Mahdan]

Dear all,

I changed server date to future date for some reason/testing.

Revert back to current date and found out the cronjob is not working.

Pls help

Cron may have just gotten confused with the date changes.

Stop and restart cron and see if that helps.

# /sbin/init.d/cron stop

Make sure there are no cron processes running.

# ps -ef | grep cron

# /sbin/init.d/cron start

TQ.

At the same time I recreate the cronjob and it work.

TQ again

Have you checked the 'cron' log file to see what it says?  The file is /var/adm/cron/log.
