I've been struggling for days trying to get the run-periodic-tasks script for my MovableType blog to work. After posting a message on the forum I stumbled across yet another Activity Log in the admin section. This was the System Activity Log whereas I had been checking the Activity Log for my blog itself.
In the System Activity Log it mentioned that it couldn't write a lock file in the /tmp directory. Probably because I didn't have a /tmp directory. I created the directory and, boom-sha-boom, everything is working now.
I'm expecting to stick with MT for a while but I don't find it the easiest software to figure out and / or configure....
