Cron not running?

F

I'm trying to have a task run every 15 minutes for my Movable Type installation, and have set up a scheduled task in Plesk via cron. The problem is it's not running at all.

Here's the config...

User: chris
Minute: */15
Hour: *
Day of Month: *
Month: *
Day of Week: *
Command: perl /var/www/vhosts/fullmanator.com/subdomains/mt/httpdocs/tools/run-periodic-tasks -verbose >> /var/log/mt/run-periodic-tasks.log

Now, if I run this command via shell, it executes and runs without issue. So, digging a little further, I did "crontab -l" and did not see my Plesk-submitted cron task in that list. What gives?
 
Make sure that crond service is running and try to restart it first:

# /etc/init.d/crond restart

Did you try to modify crontab tasks manually using "crontab -e" command?
