what do you get if you run " # ps aux | grep cron " ?
Mine gives
[jeff@goliath ~]$ ps aux | grep cron
root 4266 0.0 0.1 4444 812 ? Ss 00:58 0:00 crond
That indicates crond is running as the service
Looks like it's running.
[root@mythtv ~]# ps aux | grep cron
root 20854 0.0 0.0 5116 696 ? Ss 07:40 0:00 crond
You have removed the lines for your mythtv installation.
They can be put back if the files are in /root as the paths indicate.
I removed them in case they were somehow causing the problem. The paths
were correct, the files were in /root.
Yet they won't run when they're in there. Is there any way to see any
debug or realtime feedback from cron?
Have you checked /var/log/cron ? There should be a RELOAD event logged
within 1 minute after any change to /etc/crontab .
