linux - My Cron is not running -


i have list of cronjob set run in regular schedule. after read , tried suggestion here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/22744360/1478789

i still haven't able figure out why cron job not running.

result: ps ax | grep cron

when tried simple command:

* * * * * /bin/echo "cron works" >> /home/user/somefile.log 

it not append text intended file.

so, try "manually" executing following command:

user@machine:~$ echo "random text" >> /home/user/somefile.log 

it appends text file.

lastly, when issue following command:

user@machine:~$ grep cron /var/log/syslog 

it doesn't print @ all

by way, edit cron

user@machine:~$ sudo editor=nano crontab -e 

if, use this:

user@machine:~$ editor=nano crontab -e (without sudo) 

i following message:

no crontab user - using empty 1 error reading /home/user/.nano_history: permission denied press enter continue starting nano 

can troubleshoot this, thanks.

is cron running?

$ps ax | grep cron 1236 ?        ss     0:00 cron 

if not check,

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cron.status cron start/running, process 1236 

if yours isnt running it'll like: cron stop/waiting

try starting with

$sudo /etc/init.d/cron start 

-- hth

edit: bad see cron running after re-reading post ... hmmm further remember having similar problem few months ago running ubuntu 14.04 on laptop. sorry...
