Some tips

Your crontab doesn't have the right path variables and possibly shell

Code:
$ which pkill
/usr/bin/pkill

Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/pkill -f domexpcheck

better you can set path and shell before commands

example

Code:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
