Right now one of my machine's cron isnt running.

Does anyone know the command to start cron working on a unix machine?


Thanks -

Doesn't cron automatically boot with the server?

I am not a unix master, but I beleive Relic is correct, your cron should be running on your unix box all the time. If it is not working you may have made a mistake in your commands.

Also, if you just added a new command you might need to type:
"crontab cronfile"
That should make cron recognize your changes and then the new commands should be running from then on.

If you continue to have issues I suggest that you contact your webhost and make sure that everything is OK with your file.

Good luck!
