cron not working

[Rajashekar Chintalapati <rajashekr at gmail dot com>]

Hi,
? I am trying to run a simple script using crontab.

$ more /cygdrive/c/list
ls -ltr /cygdrive/c/ > /tmp/li.txt

$ crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.ry22Lho7uW installed on Sun Mar 28 14:03:55 2010)
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $)
4 14 * * * /cygdrive/c/list


$ ps -ef

Please find attachment - cronbug.txt
It once run correctly, i am able to see in logs too.
2010/03/28 01:00:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 4060: (Administrator)
RELOAD (tabs/Administrator)
2010/03/28 01:01:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 4068: (Administrator)
CMD (/cygdrive/c/list > /tmp/error.log 2>&1)


But after that not sure what went wrong, if i change the time, cron is
not executing the /cygdrive/c/list.

Can you please let us know what may be the problem.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rajashekar.
