Try looking at roots mail. If things go awry cron will e-mail the output. in /etc/aliases you can change it so that root's mail get's mapped to a routinely monitored mail account if need be.

The maintenance has to be done as root. I've set the commands in roots crontab and al looked fine. It appeared the commands worked because they created the log files (with correct date and time stamps) associated with the maintenance. But on closer examination the files all had a zero byte count. So it looks as if crontab is doing his job and maintenance is starting but no output is coming out and it also looks as if the backups aren't done. I did a chmod on the scripts so I know they can be executed. And I know the script work because when the scripts are issued manually they work. Ideas??
