My cronjob starts, but does not finishes

Problem

The cronjob syncing data from Magento to Copernica starts, but never finishes. So no new data will be synchronised and my queue keeps getting larger. 

Solution

Add a file called test.php in the root of your Magento installation. Copy and past the code below and execute the php file. If the file executes well a start and an endtime will appear. If anything will go wrong it will output the error or exception. 

<?php
require_once 'app/Mage.php';

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

umask(0);
Mage::app();

print 'Starttime:'. time();
print '<hr>';
$obj = Mage::getModel('marketingsoftware/observer');
$obj->processQueue();

print 'Endtime:'. time();
print '<hr>';
