As a reply to both answers, here's a script that wont' run:

bash: /usr/local/bin/bash
this is /var/log/cron
Feb 24 19:20:00 p3-550 /usr/sbin/cron[27988]: (root) CMD
(/usr/local/etc/test.sh)
This is the crontab entry:
* * * * * /usr/local/etc/test.sh
(At the moment, I have no shell parameters or other parameters in
crontab, another crontab-job runs fine, but that's an executable
file.)
The following works fine, here is the detail:
$ date ; ls -lF /tmp/test.*
Tue Feb 24 22:50:11 CET 2004
-rwxr-x--- 1 jgabel wheel 49 Feb 24 22:50 /tmp/test.bash*
$
$ cat /tmp/test.bash
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
echo start > /tmp/test.txt
$
$ crontab -l
* * * * * /tmp/test.bash
$
$ date ; ls -lF /tmp/test.*
Tue Feb 24 22:51:17 CET 2004
-rwxr-x--- 1 jgabel wheel 49 Feb 24 22:46 /tmp/test.bash*
-rw-r--r-- 1 jgabel wheel 6 Feb 24 22:51 /tmp/test.txt
$
$ cat /tmp/test.txt
start
$
Can you try *stricly* the same thing?
Sure (this is run as root):
$ cd /tmp
$ date ; ls -lF /tmp/test.*
Tue Feb 24 23:25:56 CET 2004
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 45 Feb 24 23:24 /tmp/test.bash*
$
$ cat test.bash
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
echo start > test.txt
$ crontab -l
* * * * * /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpwho -w > /www/data/ftpstatus.html
* * * * * /tmp/test.bash
$ date ; ls -lF /tmp/test.*
Tue Feb 24 23:26:08 CET 2004
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 45 Feb 24 23:24 /tmp/test.bash*
$
Not much of difference I'm afraid.
