Thanks that's much smarter :)

There was no blank line, but there is now. It still does not work
though!? I use 'crontab -e' as root, and this line:

*/5 * * * * /projects/proximus/bin/restart_proximus.sh

As I remember crontab used to mail root is there was any problems, but
I get no mails, and my script does not run!? Any ideas?
