Hiya all, just found an odd one on one of our boxes, cron isnt working (for a user anyway, but can't seem to get it running properly at all), i.e if I do a crontab -e as a user (who is in /var/spool/cron) and add 19 10 * * * /bin/touch /home/logadmin/testfile (has permission) its never created. Also I get no mails from cron to /var/spool/mail/root so guessing maybe cron not working at all, can't find any errors in logfiles relating to it either. ps -ef shows crond running however, have tried restarting it via service crond restart which shows fine in logs as started Not sure what else to check?
Is there an entry in /etc/cron.deny for the user? Does /var/spool/cron/logadmin look OK? You could try attaching strace to the running crond process with -f to see if that provides any insights.
