Question What can make Cronjobs stop working??

Up until two days ago they were working junt fine, then stoped working with out me doing anything. Yesterday they started working again...and then stoped working, at about the same time of day that they stoped working the day before.

service crond restart

did nothing. All SSH signs point to it working....

[root@ensim root]# service crond status
crond (pid 10922 10919 3270 3035) is running...

[root@ensim root]# service crond restart
Stopping crond: [ OK ]
Starting crond: [ OK ]

Code:
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4286]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.domain.com/crons_day.php) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4297]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/bin/weblogs) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4289]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.domain.com/crons_hour.php) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4300]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/sbin/bwcron) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4292]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.domain.com/crons_fivemins.php) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4303]: (root) CMD (nice --adjustment=15 /usr/local/sbin/update_site_summary_cache) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4284]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.vgchat.com/back-up/back-ups.php) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4295]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.domain.com/crons_minute.php) 
Jun  4 00:00:01 ensim CROND[4306]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/run-parts /etc/logrotate/d) 
Jun  4 00:01:00 ensim CROND[4438]: (root) CMD (curl http-//www.domain.com/crons_minute.php) 
Jun  4 00:01:00 ensim CROND[4441]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

The scripts work just fine if you access them from the URL though crons are doing nothing. How do you get them working again?
