Hello folks. It seems my cron has stopped working for some reason about 2 days ago as people are staying 'online' etc...I have tried deleting the cron command and implementing a new one. I am with justhost so it only allows it to run every 15 mins and i am getting an e-mail etc.. but yet peoples online status is not changing...

Ok Folks - I was onto justhost who said there is nothing wrong with my cron command, except our website is reaching over the max of messages sending out per hour [On a basic account you can send out 750 per hour - we have over 2,000 members and have cron set to run every 15 mins] They said if I changed my cron to send out under 750 per hour and wait a while to send out again this would solve our problem - But i dont know how to do this]
Does anyone know how to do this? To try and solve the problem i made the cron run every 30mins but no luck.
However I think there is another underlying problem as user online status is staying online etc..
Any ideas or suggestions

Could someone have a look at my run.php file and let me know if they can see anything wrong that would stop my cron working....

I have been onto justhost - who cannot see any reason for my cron not to be working correctly and are suggesting its a coding error in oxwall code - but wouldn't a lot of you then be experiencing this problem?

Richard, have you replaced the path in "/home/....../public_html/ow_cron/run.php" by "..." in purpose?
If this was done on purpose:
- check with your hosting company how it is setting limits to sending out of emails.
If they have set them so that CRON stops working when the limit is reached, then your problems can only solved if the limit is increased ( or by moving to another server).
- enable DEBUG_MODE and run cron command manually via SSH to see whether there are any fatal errors.
