Tivo not rebooting and failing call status

[spnewman]

I have a direc tivo sd dvr 80 Hughes that has ptv installed with tweak installed as well.(I ftp it to the hacks directory and went from there) It has been working great until this past week. It stopped doing a reboot every Sunday and Wednsday, the fake calls are still made at 10, but after a few hours in twp it will read that a call has failed. I rebooted but still get the same issue. Is there somewhere in the tivo I need to look?
I don't know if this matters, but last week my daughter was listening to mp3's on the tivo, and a mp3 was corrupted, and caused the tivo to reboot. This happened a few times before I was made aware of it. I removed the mp3 from the file so this does not happen anymore.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Sounds like cron isn't running, or your crontab got messed.

Where do I check for that, I am still new at all this.

Telnet in and type:

ps | grep crond

this will tell you if crond is running. If it's not, check rc.sysinit.author to see if it's started on boot.

If it is and you tweaked your box, you should be able to just type:

root

and it will open the file showing what should be run by crond. Look to see if the reboot and fakecall commans are there.
