Hi,

Aegir task cron runs as expected.

But individual site crons are not running.

I looked at my setup under hosting >queues

while my takss queue runs as expected my cron queue has not run for several weeks.
How can I force this to happen?

su - aegir
crontab -e 

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --php=/usr/bin/php '@hostmaster' hosting-dispatch

I tried per troubleshooting instructions to reset cron:

cd /var/aegir/hostmaster-alpha14
 /var/aegir/drush/drush.php hosting-setup --uri="my-site-url"
Could not find a Drupal settings.php file at             [error]
./sites/default/settings.php.
The drush command 'hosting-setup' could not be found.

I also tried

cd /var/aegir/hostmaster-alpha14/sites/my-site-url
/var/aegir/drush/drush.php hosting-setup --uri="my-site-url"
Could not find a Drupal settings.php file at             [error]
./sites/default/settings.php.
The drush command 'hosting-setup' could not be found.
