The frontend interface still reports when the next run is scheduled 
for.  In the frontend goto:
Information Center =>  System Status => Listings Status

In my case mythfilldatabase was running fine for months, then suddenly 
stopped running and oddly the next scheduled date run time was always 1 
day in the past.  Each day the scheduled run time was updated but still 
a day old so mfdb never ran anymore.

I had the backend setup to use the suggested times from Schedules 
Direct.  What got it going again for me was to uncheck the "get 
suggested time from grabber" box and set the guide data execution window 
to 0 and 23 (max window size) and did a run manually. After two days 
everything was back in sync.  I reduced the window size to 0 and 7 and 
everything still works.  I assume I could go back to using suggested 
times, but I haven't tried that again.
