CRON says " queue max run limit reached"

Hi,

Try the crontab command but read de man pages frist (cron and crontab command) so you can be able to modify the scheduler of the cron daemon. The messages at the log file mean that the daemon can't start the task at the time that is scheduled, so some correction has to be made.

Hope it helps.

Cron is like the Windows task manager. Go to /etc or /usr/bin or /usr or type "whereis cron" or "locate cron." Then see if there is a file called "cron.conf." Either you are scheduling too many tasks; what is happening is that cron's queue is overlapping other scheduled tasks. Then cron reschedules tasks and they continuously overlap until your queue overflows. You should schedule the tasks so one can finish before the other can begin. You should be able to automate this with something like "cron.conf."
