I've got a question about the following cronjob.

>
> #At 3:01 our time, run backups
> 1 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /www/r/rester/htdocs/auto_backup/back_em_up.php >/www/r/rester/htdocs/auto_backup/cron.log 2>&1
>
> #At 3:02 clean up sessions folder
> 2 0 * * * (find /www/r/rester/htdocs/sessions/ -name 'sess_*' -mtime +1 -delete)
>

> * * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /www/r/rester/htdocs/phpList_cronjob/process_cronjob.php >>/www/r/rester/htdocs/phpList_cronjob/cron.log 2>>&1

The new one doesn't seem to want to run until after 3:01 or 3:02. Shouldn't the
sever just run it every minute?

And, the every minute job doesn't add anything to its log file.

Apache on a virtual host. The 3:01 and 3:02 jobs have been running fine for
months.

Thanks
