title: magento-cron job module not working
body: <p>There are plenty of tutorials out there for setting up cron, and I think I've done it correctly, but it is not working</p>
  
  <p><strong>i have created module and the code in config.xml</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;crontab&gt;
          &lt;jobs&gt;
              &lt;birthday_send&gt;
                  &lt;schedule&gt;&lt;cron_expr&gt;0 1 * * *&lt;/cron_expr&gt;&lt;/schedule&gt;
                  &lt;run&gt;&lt;model&gt;birthday/observer::sendBirthayEmail&lt;/model&gt;&lt;/run&gt;
              &lt;/birthday_send&gt;
          &lt;/jobs&gt;
  &lt;/crontab&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Next is observer.php (in folder model) with method sendBirthayEmail</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>class Test_Birthday_Model_Observer
  {
      public function sendBirthayEmail()
      {
          //this collection get all users which have birthday on today
          $customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer")-&gt;getCollection();
          $customer-&gt;addFieldToFilter('dob', array('like' =&gt; '%'.date("m").'-'.date("d").' 00:00:00'));
          $customer-&gt;addNameToSelect();
          $items = $customer-&gt;getItems();
          foreach($items as $item)
          {
          // send email or do something
          }
          return $this;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
