I have found that the job IS running, just not outputting to the logs. 
 
I do a ps -ef and there it is vacuuming the database.
 
It throws and error when it starts ( pq_flush: send() failed: Broken pipe ) and when it finishes (LOG:  pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection)
 
Does that give anyone any ideas what could be wrong?
 
My current command is
0 23 * * *      psql weblink -U postgres -c "vacuum full verbose;"
 
TIA for any ideas
Chad
