Two points to consider here....

1)I made a small mistake while posting the previous message. I have edited it now so check with the following entry

2 6 * * * cd /home/xtuser/; ./test.csh

2)have you modified the time entries properly, because according to the entries given in the script it will run at 06:02 am everyday?

if still not working let me know, because now it should work.

tail the log file kept at /var/adm/cron/ and check if your job was called as scheduled
