Too long entries in a crontab seems to make problems. For example create the file /etc/cron.d/test and write in it: * * * * * root dash -c '/bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1 && /bin/sleep 1' The command should be executed every minute but it doesn't (or maybe it is executed and failing immediately). If the last sleep command is removed the cronjob is working fine.
