Might iptables not be in the PATH for the cron job?
Also make sure the OFF.sh and ON.sh are executable: chmod +x
I've observed that, in some cases, things started by cron (or init) run
without a UID set at all. I can't remember any examples of this, and I
could be wrong, but I do remember that I've solved similar problems in
the past by explicitly declaring a UID, as in:
15 11 * * * su root -c /root/OFF.sh
Or maybe within your script doing:
su root -c iptables -I INPUT ...
Just a thought, but that would be one reason why it might work under the
shell, but not from cron...
