Running Moodle 1.6 and have my cron job setup as a service on a windows2003server. ive done a fresh install with the latest cron download, and the service is set to AUTOMATIC, meaning it should load upon server startup.... however, every night, when the server is scheduled to reboot, the cron doesnt start when the server comes back up, i have to go in to the services on the server, and start it manually, even though its set to automatic.....   any insight as to why this is???

thanks everyone!!!!

I would suspect an error on your cron install. I would first just start over on the cron install after removing the current one you have created.

 

I ran this tutorial and it works, give it a shot again

Are you using the moodle cron package or the Windows scheduler method to setup the cron service? Take a look also in the event viewer - there may be something which provides some help as to what is going wrong.
