Cronjobs stopped working - Linux

bisla.yogender · #1 (**permalink**) 06-16-2008

Hi All,

I am user of a Linux machine and I have approximatly 15 cronjobs scheduled in my crontab. Yesterday my administrator made LDAP active on my userid and all the things are doing fine after that. But all cronjobs for my user id stored in my crontab have stopped working after that.

Could any one suggest what the reason could be and what should be solution to make my crontab working again?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Yogi

I'd suggest checking your cron log to find the definitive answer but off the top of my head, this seems like an audit trail problem. It could be that you are authenticating via ldap and somehow breaking cron's ability to be sure who you are.
