Check the mail for the koha user (type "mail" at the command prompt.
 If the cronjob isn't executing properly you should be getting an email that might contain the needed clue to the reason it's not.

 Subject: [Koha] Crontab appearing to not run

Hi, I need a little basic help with crontab and re-indexing the database. I am using one of the pre-build virtual machines with v3.03.00.004. I SSH into the system using the koha user. When in that user I can run: /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z and it will properly reindex the database so that new catalog entries will show up. If I do: crontab -l in the list I have an entry of: */10 * * * * /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z >/dev/null Which I believe should re-index the database every 10 minutes. This isn't occurring though and I have not been able to figure out why. I don't know if it means anything but the rebuild_zebra is a little funny. If I move into the migration_tools directory I can't simply run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z. It comes back with command not found. The only way I can run it is using the fully qualified path. Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?
