That's quite weird, indeed you should have something like that /USR/SBIN/CRON[32528]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) /USR/SBIN/CRON[32528]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily) etc etc... BTW Your crontab is correct run # run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily then # grep -i cron /var/log/syslog /r
