Try executing the script with -x thru cron

Script changes...
Code:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
ifconfig...

Cron entry...
Code:
26 * * * * /home/user/Loadbalancercheck.sh >/tmp/log 2>&1

Paste the output of /tmp/log

Starting a script through cron is not the same as when being started from a shell manually. You should ensure that all binaries etc. are found since you have not the same environment as in your shell. PATH variable and others are not set if you do not set them explicitly.

Here is a general guide to cron with things noted you should take into account:
