Cron Job is not running automatically in OTRS-3.3.2 Version

[williamrobert1983]

Hi,

I have upgraded version 3.2.11 to 3.3.2. The version is working fine after upgraded.

I just changed 10 min interval below two cron files.
*/10 * * * * $HOME/bin/otrs.GenericAgent.pl >> /dev/null
*/10 * * * * $HOME/bin/otrs.GenericAgent.pl -c db >> /dev/null

I created one ticket and the ticket state in 'New' and the cronjob will run every 10 mins.. so i just wanted to change 'In progress' state.

But the cron job is not running automatically. When i run the command in back end, its updating state.

Please advice me what i need to change ? /var/cron folder permission group is Apache and owner is otrs.
And under the cron folder files group and owner is root. i changed apache and otrs for the all the files . still having the same problem.

i just restarted ./Cron.sh restart otrs and restarted /etc/init.d/crond restart . but nothing happend

please let me know how to solve it. thanks lot..

[jojo]

try not to use Event and time based config in one generic agent.

based on the information I can see no issues.

[williamrobert1983]

so , i just use only ticket filter and ticket action right. No need to select the time..
