I have created some Cron jobs to run php scripts, after about a week or so they all get removed from WHM? I have no idea why this keeps happening! Actually its not WHM but set inside cpanel interaface

  Hello :) Do you have root access to this system? If so, could you verify if the "crond" service is running? EX:
  pidof crond
  Thank you.

  responds 3105 Cron works perfect, just that my jobs are removed randomly? Dedicated server that only I use.

  Have you considered opening a ticket directly to cPanel Technical Support about this?

  Did you check the logs for anything weird in cron?
  /var/log/cron
  Did you check the logs for unauthorized access?
  /var/log/secure
  AND
  last
