changes to crontab not effective

["Jochen Daum" <jochen.daum@cans.co.nz>]

Hi !

I've come to Debian after using Suse for a while. Please excuse any
expectations, though mine are not big.

I've made changes to crontab, of which only one is working.
/etc/crontab says, cron doesn't have to be restarted, and I wouldn't
know how, cause there is no rccron like in Suse. Any idea where the
problem lies? Here's my crontab:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs
do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user	command
25 6	* * *	root	test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
47 6	* * 7	root	test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
52 6	1 * *	root	test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly
#
0 4 * * * root wget http://********************/index.php
0 5 * * * root rm /root/index.ph*
#
0 12 * * * root sh /etc/init.d/backup.sh
0 17 * * * root sh /etc/init.d/backup.sh


Only the wget commands gets executed, not the other three.

Cheers,
