You check the cron log? maybe it ran it just had an error so
it didn't produce the results you expected.

It's also good to send STDOUT/STDERR to a file for easier debugging
of cron stuff.

Also note that cron takes a minute to load the config, so for
example if it was :23 after the hour and you put in a new entry to
run at :24 after the hour it likely will not run. Just thought to
toss that in in the event you tried something like that.
