Is the cron daemon running, if not sure do
Code:
service crond restart

then test it by installing a dummy cron job like
Code:
* * * * * date >> /tmp/dates.txt

I will try "date >> /tmp/dates.txt"

Thanks.

you also have a cron log that may shed some light on what's going on...

Code:
# tail -9 /var/log/cron
Feb 13 07:01:01 myBOX crond[26926]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Feb 13 07:10:01 myBOX crond[26948]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1)
