I have set up my cron job using these instructions: http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/SystemConfiguration

When the cron job kicks off it never seems to finish. I then used top to see what might be happening and notice the php process hovers around 80% memory and sometimes higher. I've run from the cli and the same thing happens. When I use the url http://mysite.org/index.php?q=civicrm/mailing/queue&reset=1 (not my real site), the apache process it kicks off does the same thing. It just increases in memory size.

I'm not sure where to look in the logs for potential problems. I have a feeling there is a permissions problem somewhere.

I've never let the process run far enough to see what happens.  It degrades our test server quite a bit. I will do this today because I'll probably be the only one on it.

Last week I was getting this error:

Warning: fopen(/home/staging/sites/civimail/docs/sites/default/files/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/ConfigAndLog/CiviCRM.13a209e048b2787dcfadabf670800cfc.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/staging/sites/civimail/docs/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/Log/file.php on line 216


This time I was not getting these warning because the permissions were right but I have a feeling that there was some corruption in the files so  just deleted the log files in this directory and restarted the cron. It worked and email was delivered by CiviSMTP immediately and successfully
