Something looks odd there. The .applescript extension is used by AppleScript
Studio for _uncompiled_ text files (which are compiled for the Build and
become .scpt files in the build). Compiled scripts have the .scpt extension.
Does osascript expect text files such as .applescript or .txt files, whose
content it would compile itself, or does it want .scpt files already
compiled and saved by a script editor?

For cron entries use the full path to the osascript command as shown,

IMHO Cronnix only makes CRON somewhat easier to use, not easy in a Mac
