Is your Crontab running ??

[Frasier]

Is your Crontab running ??

yes...my crond is running..

check if you have received any internal system mails. You will usually receive them if your cron fails..

Also if your script uses some of the commands then you need to use the complete path of the executable and not just the command name as the environment variables are not loaded

check whether /home/myscript.sh has execute permission. If it will not have execute permission it might create problem as you mentioned
