Trying to use JCron Scheduler on "localhost" for testing.

WAMP setup (Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.5)
Joomla 1.0.15

allow_url_fopen = On
disable_functions =
"shell_exec" is not disabled

Updated $sitepath in cron.feedgator.php and verified.
Checked Index.php is updated with the "include" pointing to the proper path for jcron.php

Tried SSH and Web in JCRON component and verified path to cron.feedgator.php is absolutely correct.

In a browser I can point to:
http://localhost/administrator/components/com_feedgator/cron.feedgator.php

-- Feeds are updated properly and placed in Joomla articles.

But if I use JCRON - it never works.
I tried varied minute, every other minute, 5 minute, etc.

** Also note that in JCron Scheduler - Edit/Add Task of Joomla backend I enter the information. Go back and edit and the fields (taskname, Command to Run, etc. are blank/defaulted) - yet the data is saved. This appears to be a known issue - Right???

Hi there! In order for the cron to run you need to have activity on the site frontend, so it would be better to use the JCron manager on a live site with some frontpage activity

Yes, understand. I meant to mention that.
I am assuring that site activity is occurring on the frontend.

Any other ideas?

There is a field in the cron task setup called "Last time run", do you get that field updated?

If so, then the cron runs but for some reason the feedgator command doesn't work, so try and check that
