Are cron and NDO running?

service crond start does not seem to be getting any type of response

to add when i try to start the grapher it says an error occured when trying to process your request

suggestions please

Just so you're aware, bumping your thread actually brings it down in our time-based queue.

What is the output of "service crond status"?

That's what "service crond status" outputs?

crond (pid 5664) is running...
