STUPID ME!!!
I have spent hours looking for bugs, issues, looking at files not
seeing the syntax error  0/5...

Sorry for the noise...

 Hi,
 I have added a cron task to my package via the package xxx.cron file. (I
 am using sid)

 However, it never gets executed (not exactly true, it happened to
 occur once...)

 In my syslog file I can see:
 Apr 12 13:04:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD
 (/etc/cron.d/xgrid)
 Apr 12 13:10:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD
 (/etc/cron.d/xgrid)
 Apr 12 13:17:01 VM-247 /USR/SBIN/CRON[3384]: (root) CMD (   cd / 
 run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
 Apr 12 13:20:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD
 (/etc/cron.d/xgrid)
 Apr 12 13:24:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[2999]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD
 (/etc/cron.d/xgrid)
 Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3478]: (CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)
 Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
 Apr 12 13:29:48 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (CRON) INFO (Skipping
 @reboot jobs -- not system startup)
 Apr 12 13:46:01 VM-247 /usr/sbin/cron[3479]: (*system*xgrid) RELOAD
 (/etc/cron.d/xgrid)

 My cron file /etc/cron.d/xgrid is correctly loaded ( I tried to update
 it several times to force reload).
 I even tried to reboot cron service (last lines).
 But it never gets executed

 Here is my cron file:
 root@VM-247:# more /etc/cron.d/xgrid 
 0/5 * * * * root xgrid-graph /dev/null 21

 I added a blank line after my cron definition (or a comment line) as I
 have seen there were issues with issues (don(t know if it is still true).

 If I execute the command manually it works fine. And anyway, error
 should appear in syslog.


 could someone tell me if I did something wrong or if it is a cron issue

 thanks

 Olivier
