XF 1.5 Crons not running

[Robust]

What could be the reasons for a cron not running?

I added debug lines to a cron file of mine, and honestly sometimes it isn't even being called. Sometimes when it's called, the XenForo_Error::logError isn't being processed (no errors/debug lines being logged).

Right now, the cron isn't running at all. It's set to run every minute, I've tried running it manually. It ran about half a time and hasn't ran since.

In addition to this not working, the trophy cron isn't running either.

So really, they run at random times by the looks of it and seem to skip over lines, somehow?

Just the other day I read that another member was experiencing the same issue with the trophy cron not being running as it should be.

If running it manually doesn't work, there's something else at play. That runs the cron "inline" so any (untrapped) error should be displayed.

What else (other than add-ons) could affect a cron not running or giving errors when ran manually?

Opcode cache issues I suppose, but I guess you'd need to trace it through from the start to confirm.
