I am using Rules 6.x-1.2 version, and I have a very strange issue when using rules redirect from a node to another.

This is the rule set:

array (
  'rules' => 
  array (
    'rules_1' => 
    array (
      '#type' => 'rule',
      '#set' => 'event_node_view',
      '#label' => 'Profile Redirect when trying to view profile or pp node',
      '#active' => 0,
      '#weight' => '0',
      '#categories' => 
      array (
        0 => 'Redirects',
      ),
      '#status' => 'custom',
      '#conditions' => 
      array (
        0 => 
        array (
          '#weight' => 0,
          '#info' => 
          array (
            'label' => 'Viewed content is Profile or Profile Pictures',
            'arguments' => 
            array (
              'node' => 
              array (
                'type' => 'node',
                'label' => 'Content',
              ),
            ),
            'module' => 'Node',
          ),
          '#name' => 'rules_condition_content_is_type',
          '#settings' => 
          array (
            'type' => 
            array (
              'profile' => 'profile',
              'pp' => 'pp',
            ),
            '#argument map' => 
            array (
              'node' => 'node',
            ),
          ),
          '#type' => 'condition',
        ),
      ),
      '#actions' => 
      array (
        0 => 
        array (
          '#type' => 'action',
          '#settings' => 
          array (
            'path' => 'user/[node:author-uid]',
            'query' => '',
            'fragment' => '',
            'force' => 0,
            'immediate' => 1,
            '#eval input' => 
            array (
              'token_rules_input_evaluator' => 
              array (
                'path' => 
                array (
                  0 => 'node',
                ),
              ),
            ),
          ),
          '#name' => 'rules_action_drupal_goto',
          '#info' => 
          array (
            'label' => 'Page redirect',
            'module' => 'System',
            'eval input' => 
            array (
              0 => 'path',
              1 => 'query',
              2 => 'fragment',
            ),
          ),
          '#weight' => 0,
        ),
      ),
      '#version' => 6003,
    ),
  ),
)

I was getting "Cron run exceeded the time limit and was aborted." error. As soon as i diabled the redirect the cron ran and working fine. It was also culprit for stuck cron.

I had exactly the same issue...

I have the same issue ... this is how I solved it for now. I had to include the admin in the exclusion because running cron manually as user 1 causes cron to crash and I had to reset the cron variables in the system table in the database.

Now that I got this to work, I am having trouble with searching because it does unwanted redirects when you search for a term.

Create a new rule and for the 'Do' execute a custom PHP script:

<?php
if ($user->uid > 1) {
  // do a query to get the link

  // then do a redirect
  drupal_goto($link_redirect);
}
?>

There might be a way to do this without doing a php script, but I could not figure out how to get specific user ID exclusion in the 'If' part.

Indeed, the redirect action should probably do nothing in case cron is active.

As this bug-report is rather old, please verify it's still valid in the latest dev version and re-open if so. For now, I'm marking it as closed.
