What's not working about it? Meaning, what do you think it should be doing that it's not?

It's not triggering the script when? The second entry means run every day at 1:30 in the afternoon, is that when its 'not triggering'?

Yes, its not triggering the script at 1.30

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with the look of the crontab entry. Take your problem to an SA, see if they can help troubleshoot it. You could also add some 'breadcrumbs' to the script to check if it is indeed not even starting or failing somewhere inside the script after it starts. Unless you've already done that, of course.

Is the cron daemon running?

Too corny.

There must have been an earthquake while I was typing - moved the keyboard.
