Cron jobs not working

I've got 3 Cron jobs scheduled that for some reason won't work in Plesk 8.2.1. These same jobs worked flawlessly under Plesk Reloaded.

They're all switched on and the commands all work if I run them directly from shell, i.e. logging in as root and entering /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-report.pl

The identical command in a Plesk 8.2.1 Crontab task won't run.

Timing is set as
Min=1
Hour=*
DM=*
M=1-12
DW=0-7



Thanks for your help.

Fred
 
Forget it. I rebooted the server and now all the cron jobs work. Funny, I don't recall ever having to reboot with Plesk Reloaded.

Oh well, it works.

Fred.
 
try

Did you try to reload the cron service first?
/etc/init.d/crond restart ?
