I thought you would have something like....

1 * * * * /path/to/my/script/to/do/this/pinging.sh >/var/log/lastpingthing.log

Do you know how to add a crontab entry?

As this needs to be run by root, do the following as root....

1. in some temporarty directory...

2. crontab -l >crontab

3. edit the crontab file

4. crontab crontab

5. crontab -l

Yeah so when i edited it, and use crontab -l it shows up. i restart the machine and nothing.
