According to cron(8), cron should be able to read commands from a
properly formatted and chmoded /etc/crontab file. I've created such
a file, but I can't seem to get cron to run the test command in it.
# cat EOF /etc/crontab

Feel free to laugh if this is a stupid question, but have you made sure to
leave an extra empty line at the end of the crontab?
Are you in /var/cron/cron.allow ?
Also, I usually pack everything into a script and then have cron call the
script. It makes verbose comments and multi-line commands

Reread crontab(5), the /etc/crontab has a slightly different
