We have some rules here and you are violating them. First we have:

(4) Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly. No duplicate or cross-posting and do not report a post where your goal is to get an answer more quickly.

It took you, what, 20 hours, to respond to me. And even then, you could not bother yourself to answer all of my questions. Then you demand a response in 3 hours. What is very much worse, you called me a fool.

(2) No negative comments about others or impolite remarks. Be patient.

At this point, I certainly am not going to attempt to provide you with any help at all. Please read and follow our rules. You won't get another warning.

Certainly a comment like that will not get you anywhere.

See the rules...

(1) No flames, shouting (all caps), sarcasm, bullying, profanity or arrogant posts.

(2) No negative comments about others or impolite remarks. Be patient.

The user should have permission to execute cron entry. I mean you check either cron.allow or cron.deny for permision. if cron.deny file is there then there should not be entry for the user. Or if there is cron.allow then there should be entry for the user. I hope you may try this one also because no where you have mentioned regarding permission.

Thanks
