Crontab do not run on PM hours

I am not having 100 crontab entries. there are 17 entries, 10 for root and 7 for a user.

What is intriguing is after I changed the line a.10j1n to a.30j1n, the entries in the cron, runned, BUT I beleive by changing "a" should not make a difference, only if I changed the line "c" for crontab, it should do something, but on my queuedefs file there is not a "c" line.

Code:

#ps -ef | sort +8 | pg
