Well I just realized that
*/1 * * * * python /home/www-data/web2py/web2py.py -S sos_test -M -N
-
R applications/sos_test/private/scripts/ctest.py
has the -N in it which would stop crontab from running. I removed
that but it's still not working.
I tried setting
SOFTCRON = True
And then tried all my variations again but to no avail.
There has to be something I'm doing wrong. Any ideas out there?
