Yes, the message on the Cron Jobs page only says "on time Failed". I put a screenshot at http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=eeea7ba. And no, there really was no entry in the logs - there's a screenshot of the logs at http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=5cd1594, which has nothing at the scheduled time of 2013-08-01 00:15. I suppose the cron function could fail before actually issuing an http request, but it seems a bit odd there wouldn't be *anything* in the logs.
Fortunately, the cron function ran successfully last night, so I'll presume the failure was a one-time anomaly. (In 4+ years, this is the first time something like this has happened.) With a reminder that failed cron jobs don't retry, I should probably recast my cron request to be idempotent, so that I can schedule it multiple times (a poor-man's retry).
