Deana,

I would have your IT staff check the following:

1) whether clark-kent.pl is running on your server - can be done with 'ps aux | 
grep -i clark'.  You should see a process that says "Clark Kent, waiting for 
trouble", which is the daemon process waiting for reports to run.  If there are 
any reports running, you would also see "Clark Kent reporting: (name of 
report)" for each running report.

2) whether the report is listed in the database as currently running.  You can 
do this from the psql command line with "SELECT * FROM 
reporter.currently_running;"

If the "Clark Kent, waiting for trouble" process isn't running, no reports will 
run.  If the "Clark Kent reporting: (name of report)" process isn't running and 
the report is still listed in reporter.currently_running, that probably means 
that the clark kent process for that report died before it could finish and 
update the database to say it's done.

Feel free to respond here with more information and someone may be able to 
assist.

Hope that's helpful!

Chris
