my crontab -l shows:
0 4,8,12,16,22 * * * ~/tools/xplanet/getPlanet.pl

0 12 * * 1,3,5 ~/tools/aufraeumen.sh

5 * * * * mail -s test roman </home/roman/0.txt

I edit the crontab with vim. I removed the second newlines in the crontab and
tried out whatever i think, but nothing works.
I looked in my syslog for some error messages, but nothing is in there.

for example:
Aug 10 10:30:47 gecko /usr/sbin/cron[600]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)
Aug 10 10:30:47 gecko /usr/sbin/cron[601]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
Aug 10 10:30:48 gecko /usr/sbin/cron[601]: (CRON) INFO (Running @reboot jobs)

It seems to be allright. 

Thanks, Roman
