Hi Please send me the contents of: /etc/cron.d/cron-apt (when enabled that way) /etc/crontab /etc/cron-apt (all files)
And do a "ls -l /etc/cron.*" and send me the output of that. Your log files is probably useful too. At least check that cron is running something else. You mention that it is not running one of the other scripts you have. But is it running any cron job at all?
