informix cron did not run for a certain time

currently i have this cron on my informix db

00 00,01,03,06,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,16,18,19,20,21,22,23 * * * . /informix/script.sh

it was working until last february22, the last run was 1:00AM. It was suppose to run 3:00, 6:00, so on..

last night we restarted it and for some reason the cron job work and run as it should. I checked var/adm/cron/log- and it really shows that it was not executed. The script should create a file called file1 .

any ideas?
