[aegir] Cron Queue not running, though task queue works fine.

[Kaustubh Srikanth]

"/var/aegir/drush/drush.php  @somesite.com cron --backend" ran without
errors for all sites.

Also, looks like we went off-list at some point. But Grace suggested a
fix for this which worked. Quoting below:


This is probably not released cron for sites semaphore
in the variables table.

Try this:

1. cd to the hostmaster site dir: sites/domain
2. run as your aegir user: drush vdel hosting_queue_cron_running
