Thanks, DQ, it looks like that did it. For reference, I set the permissions to 754: rwxr-xr--

My first inclination is that it's a file permissions error with crontab,
where the server can't read it because of access issues. That's what
happened to me once, though knowing what to change it to, I forget.

Hello,

I'm having some strange issues with my crontab. I've got this line in
there, which has worked for months:
0 */2 * * * cronsub -s HersfoldArbClerkBot % java -jar
HersfoldArbClerkBot.jar>  HersfoldArbClerkBot.out

Last night I replaced the jar in question with a new version (same
name, location, etc.); since then, it doesn't appear that it's been
running or even attempting to run. Usually when it fails to run I get
an email, or at the very least something should be entered in that
.out file; unfortunately I got no emails, and the file didn't exist,
yet my bot didn't make any edits until I started it manually a short
while ago. It should have run just now at 16:00 UTC, but again, no
dice. Is there something wrong with cron where it's stopped
functioning correctly?
