Thanks in advance Juan Coruña Desarrollo de Software Atlantico Have you checked the system clock? Often cron jobs stop running when a server is rebooted with incorrect time and date. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

You have had some other responses that may lead you to an answer. Check them out. One more wil idea of something to check is disk space. Is it possible that your job is trying to write to some space where there is not enough room? Also, is it possible that some previous job failed, but didn't complete terminate and is still hanging around or hanging on to some space needed by the jobs.Sometimes just doing a reboot will clear that up -- though it won't prevent the problem from recurring.

I had a reporting in my mail box (external) also with daily, weekly and monthly reports, but suddenly all stopped (I don't receive nothing in my email). Can you help me? I had the same problem. It was after I did an upgrade. I found that /etc/crontab had gotten copied somehow to /var/cron/tabs/root. I did get errors of 'root not found'. [or similar]. Check to see if that hasn't happened to you. By any chance had you performed a 'crontab -e' and screwed things up and deleted the cron. /etc/crontab runs the daily scripts you should be getting. Having that also in /var/cron/tabs made my daily messages go away.
