This forum is for asking but you need to give more precise information if you want serious help.

Did they work before?
Did you change anything?
Do you remember what you might have changed regarding your jobs?
Did you change file permissions ie. execute bits on your scripts?
Do you have a /etc/cron.deny and listed the user in this file under which you want to run cronjobs?
Did you read the link I posted you before?
