new cron job not work

[Michael neese]

Using the plesk interface, i have added two new cron tab jobs for apache...the are configured correctly and i received the notification that they were saved by the system...however they are not functioning at all...

Is there a service that must be updated or re-started to make these work correctly?

You can check that these task are really exists with something like:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/crontabmng get apache (or other user of Apache process)

Also check in /var/log/cron that these tasks were executed at requested time. Maybe there are some errors...
Try to restart crond service with

/etc/init.d/crond restart

I hope it will help.

thanks for the reply and commands that are useful...

however, i have found out that the "apache" user doesnt have the rights to restart the daemon, so it must be a "root" cron tab entry...changed this cron tab entry to the user "root" and it works fine...
