[Vtigercrm-developers] CronTask module

[Stefan Warnat]

Hy Joe,

In my opinion it is not a bug, but a feature. ;)
If a cronTab breaks with an error, the cronjob won't be started again, 
because the running flag won't be reset.

If you don't check every log of the CronTab Module you don't recognize, 
that one Cronjob isn't running, which could be lead into some other 
problems.
