Magento ver 1.9.2.0
When trying to trouble shoot our custom magento cron task (it's not working)
I've realized that our cron_schedule table has not been updated since 2015.
Surprisingly all emails and other functionality is working like expected.
When emptying the table, new tasks are not adding. Neither from crontab tasks, (tried :
/bin/sh /chroot/home/domainname.com/html/cron.sh
and
/usr/bin/php /chroot/home/domainname.com/html/cron.php
Not from direct browser domainname.com/cron.php call.
However if i change the cron.php from default magento 1.9.2.0

it populates the cron_schedule table.
What can be the issue? I would prefer to use default magento cron.php file and find the reason it's not working correctly. (and hope it can help find the reason our custom task it not working)
