| Hi.. I've started the cron daemon and tested that it works with a

| the daemon dies and I have to run my backup job that is supposed to
| run at 4:30 every morning manually. Can't seem to figure this one
| out... any help would be much appreciated.

Marc,
I see that you are not running cron as a service. You are starting it from the command window.
Could it be that you were logged out at 4:30 in the morning of May 14?
The cron that was running when you sent the message was only started on May 14 at 20:19:52
Use cron-config to launch cron as a service (or stay logged in).
Pierre
