Hello: We're trying to move a cron callout to one of our instances on a machine running Witango professional (V5.5). We have two instances of Witango running on the machine so we edited one stanza of the Witango.ini to call a test cron file. According to the Witango events log the cron is being read in/parsed upon Witango startup. Note that the cron.txt file does reside on another machine within the network which is also our file server containing our Witango code.
The cron entry is called once an hour. However, the callout only executes (writes to a test table and sends email) occasionally and without any detectable pattern (we've been running this for a few weeks and I'm just now getting back to investigating it). The Witango log file shows the cron being called once an hour as expected based on the following cron entry: 30 * * * * http://[URL]/mailtest1.taf The log file shows the following when "unsuccessful": 25/02/2010 15:30:23 0 [Cron] Sent http://[URL]:/mailtest.taf I've viewed logging at level 2 and 4 and don't see any other details. It may actually execute 1-3 times a day on some days, not execute on others, different times on different days..very odd. We also added an entry in the hosts file with no luck. Any suggestions on how to fix/troubleshoot are appreciated.
