If I understand this correctly Minutes 1-59, every three minutes, is
what I
am asking it to do....

I used the crontab -e {username} per your suggestion, but it appears to
have changed nothing.

The current directory should not be in the Unix path.  So try making
the command

. /home/statmon/status.sh 1&2>/dev/null

and see if that helps.  (I assume status.sh doesn't need to be run from
/home/statmon, but if so, cd there first.
