    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
