The /etc/crontab file is correct as compared to another machine.

when crond is restarted it does read /etc/crontab
Quote:
I have verified if I run the hourly/daily/weekly cron jobs that they work. I also removed everything from the crontab and just put in this line:
Code:
* * * * * echo Date `date` >> /tmp/crontest
but it won't even run that.

The format of /etc/crontab and the files in /etc/cron.d are different from user crontabs. You appear to be using user crontab syntax which is incorrect.
