Hate launchd miss crontab



Hi everyone,

With our 10.3.9 image like everyone I used crontab to scheadule scripts to run.  Now with 10.4.3 I tried putting this same info back into /etc/crontab and crontab -e and they still wont run.

I checked the daily.out script and it hasn't run since May of 05, which was when I last worked on our 10.4.x image waiting for a bug to be fixed which came with 10.4.3.  

I pulled the info back out of the crontabs and just let the machine sit and let the launchd run the default daily script and it never ran it.  So its not working now.  Any ideas on why daily isn't running now?

Crontab:
# /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log
#
#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command
#
#*/5    *       *       *       *       root    /usr/libexec/atrun
#
# Run daily/weekly/monthly jobs.
52      22      *       *       *       root    periodic daily
54      22      *       *       6       root    periodic weekly
56      22      1       *       *       root    periodic monthly
57      22      1       *       *       root    /sbin/startRemoveCaches
58      22      1       *       *       root    /sbin/startRemoveMCXCaches
00      23      *       *       *       root    /sbin/startshutdown

Thanks,

Dan Ball
