I have script jobs that run in cron, all of sudden these jobs do not run. If I run the scripts manually they work fine, so this is telling me that CRON is the issue.
What should I be looking for/how can I tell if something isnt right?
if I do a cron -l I do see my scripts in there.

If the jobs WERE running through cron just fine, and have stopped, then the cron daemon may be stopped. You don’t say what version/distro of Linux you’re using, but “/etc/init.d/cron status” (as root) will tell you. If it’s stopped, try to start it, and check the status again. You may also want to check the system logs and cron logs, to see if anything caused it to stop.
