When I initiate a backup it says that it's added to task queue successfully but the task queue never get's emptied. I have to remove the task.queue file manually.

Also, when I try to look at the system backup log I get "Error: document not found".

I'm running Ubuntu 8.
 
hmm I tried to check if cron was running by executing: ps -ef | grep cron

It responded nothing and I believe that means that crond is not running so I tried to /etc/init.d/cron start and it resulted in "sudo: /etc/init.d/cron: command not found" and if I check the etc/init.d folder I can't find cron??

What does this mean? is it possible that cron has to be installed? I thought it was installed by default?
 
Hello,

depending on the OS is might be "cron" or "crond", but in any case, on your system, then it's not running.

This is the related guide:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=107

It's included with systems 99% of the time, but on occation, I've seen some boxes without it running by default. Just install it as per the guide.
