Issue Summary
Hi,
For some time now, the cron job is not updating the feeds. It work until a month ago. The cron job is configured properly, but even the manual update (...//managing-news-site/cron.php) is NOT working.
Only the one-by-one manual update (Import in the feed config) is working.
Where's the problem?
Later edit: after switching the Admin theme to Cube, in the status report it says "Cron has not run recently. [...] You can run cron manually." - the manual cron job link reports "Cron run failed."

I've experienced this in two ways.
1) Common to many Drupal sites: You need to clear the cron semaphore variable — you can do this directly in the database (scary) or use the devel module. Let me know if this is greek to you.
2) I've only experienced this on Managing News sites: Sometimes I've had to restart Apache to get it working again, but that could be due to a bad setting getting stuck in APC. I've not investigated this too much.
But you may have well already fixed this issue — setting to postponed needs more info for now.

I've also encountered this problem. I've flushed the cache table in mysql but cron still won't run from a command prompt.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
