@ygemici - Yes, I believe it's working in the format you metion, i.e. I can schedule the job by going "crontab <mycrontab>", that's alright. The problem is that when the server hits the time specified in the crontab, the script isn't executed. I'm still new to UNIX so I'll take a look into mail and cron logs.
@michaelrozar17 - I made sure to use the full path, but that seemed to have no effect. The sys admin says I have permissions to run crontab and I haven't received any error messages to suggest otherwise (well, any obvious errors).
Thanks both for the suggestions.
