/etc/crontab won't run my script

[Martin McCormick]

Usually, when cron tries to run something unsuccessfully, an
error message goes to root. You might look at root's mail to see
if there are any complaints regarding this script. They could be
anything from path-related troubles to permissions, etc.

The mail may also be going to the user defined in the
/etc/crontab table who field so you might find something there.
There should be some tracks unless you have piped the output to
/dev/null 2>&1 which will send both standard output and standard
error to the great bit bucket in the sky.
