That can be due to several reasons. Does it
- start at all? Check in system logs.
- start on time? Depending on your locale, 6 can be Saturday.
- fail right after starting? Schedule a simple script to just issue a message and exit.
- fail in the middle? Run in debug (xtrace) mode and analyse the log file.
