crontab

[Kelley.Coleman at med.va.gov]

I have to enter my crontabs with a dot between the days field and the script
name.  For example:

30 23 * * * . /u01/scripts/backup.sh >> backup.log

Maby a stupid question, but anyways: 

- did u restart the cron deamon after you made changes to the crontab?
- if you look in /var/log/cron, do you evern see that cron is trying run the
script?
- check roots email to see if cron is reporting any errors regarding this
job
