My webhost temporarily suspended my account due to errors from your software. The web host said it looks like the cron is getting called from somewhere other than the cron daemon because when they tried to look for the cron jobs for the user they didn't find any. The webhost would like to know what your default is for the cron so that the web host can get it set up so that it isn't an issue.

These are the error messages that the Web host emailed to me:

During routine server maintenance, the urbanmi account was found to be spawning a significant amount of processes which were contributing to a high load on the server. Because of this, we have been forced to suspend the account to ensure server stability. Here is a sampling of the processes in question:

Hi. Remove it from shell_exec and run it from cpanel http://www.phprevolution.com/forum/troubleshooting-issues/just-installed-and-20-cron-jobs/msg16798/#msg16798
