Cron job doesn't work

Question

I have a couple cron jobs in my module

The problem is that the Magento cron doesn't run one of them, but runs the another one. I have already installed AoeScheduler and that allows to me to run these jobs manually. When I do that both of them run well.

So the only problem is when it runs through cron.php or cron sh. Also I can see that there's no new row on cron_shedule tab about this job.

This is my cron configuration y config.xml

        <validoc_bulksync_import_exigoprofile>
            <run><model>validoc_exigobulksync/cron::processImportProfile</model></run>
        </validoc_bulksync_import_exigoprofile>
        <validoc_bulksync_import_exigoitem>
            <run><model>validoc_exigobulksync/cron::processImportJobs</model></run>
        </validoc_bulksync_import_exigoitem>
    </jobs>
</crontab>

Im using a model class to suply the needed configuration for those jobs, just like i'd working with cron_path.

Validoc_Exigobulksync_Model_Adminhtml_System_Config_Backend_Exigobulksync_Cron extends Mage_Core_Model_Config_Data { const CRON_STRING_PATH = 'crontab/jobs/validoc_bulksync_import_exigoprofile>/schedule/cron_expr';

const CRON_STRING_PATH2 = 'crontab/jobs/validoc_bulksync_import_exigoitem/schedule/cron_expr';

protected function _afterSave() { $minute1 = $this->getData('groups/sheduleprofile/fields/minute/value'); $hour1 = $this->getData('groups/sheduleprofile/fields/hour/value'); $minute2 = $this->getData('groups/sheduleimport/fields/minute/value'); $hour2 = $this->getData('groups/sheduleimport/fields/hour/value');

$frequencyDaily = Mage_Adminhtml_Model_System_Config_Source_Cron_Frequency::CRON_DAILY; $frequencyWeekly = Mage_Adminhtml_Model_System_Config_Source_Cron_Frequency::CRON_WEEKLY; $frequencyMonthly = Mage_Adminhtml_Model_System_Config_Source_Cron_Frequency::CRON_MONTHLY;

$cronDayOfWeek = date('N');

$cronExprArray = array( $minute1, # Minute $hour1, # Hour (frequency == $frequencyMonthly) ? '1' : '', # Day of the Month '', # Month of the Year (frequency == $frequencyWeekly) ? '1' : '', # Day of the Week ); $cronExprArray2 = array( $minute2, # Minute $hour2, # Hour (frequency == $frequencyMonthly) ? '1' : '', # Day of the Month '', # Month of the Year (frequency == $frequencyWeekly) ? '1' : '', # Day of the Week );

$cronExprString = join(' ', $cronExprArray); $cronExprString2 = join(' ', $cronExprArray2); try { Mage::getModel('core/config_data') ->load(self::CRON_STRING_PATH, 'path') ->setValue($cronExprString) ->setPath(self::CRON_STRING_PATH) ->save(); } catch (Exception $e) { throw new Exception(Mage::helper('cron')->__('Unable to save the cron expression.'));

} try { Mage::getModel('core/config_data') ->load(self::CRON_STRING_PATH2, 'path') ->setValue($cronExprString2) ->setPath(self::CRON_STRING_PATH2) ->save(); } catch (Exception $e) { throw new Exception(Mage::helper('cron')->__('Unable to save the cron expression.'));

}

} }

Although you defined the model to run you didn't specify a schedule per task.

 <jobs>
        <validoc_bulksync_import_exigoprofile>
            <schedule><cron_expr>0 1 * * *</cron_expr></schedule>
            <run><model>validoc_exigobulksync/cron::processImportProfile</model></run>
        </validoc_bulksync_import_exigoprofile>
        <validoc_bulksync_import_exigoitem>
            <schedule><cron_expr>0 1 * * *</cron_expr></schedule>
            <run><model>validoc_exigobulksync/cron::processImportJobs</model></run>
        </validoc_bulksync_import_exigoitem>
    </jobs>

The schedule consists of several moment indicators

* * * * * 
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
| | | ------- Month (1 - 12)
| | --------- Day of month (1 - 31)
| ----------- Hour (0 - 23)
------------- Minute (0 - 59)

Also make sure your server is running a Linux cronjob for cron.php

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/magento/cron.php

And check the Apache and Magento logging for any possible errors. If one cronjob fails all that come after that will fail too.
