Dear Gandhi
I encounter the same problem. Though crontab -l shows that the cron
active, it never worked. I have done the following
crontab -e
* 2* * * cp /home/sangu/*      /usr2/
and stored it. I expect every day at 2 am this cron to copy to /usr2
location. I have privileges for this. Any help?

Can I create a file- copy.cron  in /etc/cron.daily directory which has the
above job?
