CRON question

How long I have to wait after updating crontab to check if it works or not?

I tried to add new job, but time passed over half an hour and nothing happened.
This is what I did
crontab -l > new_crontab

after I VI the file I added this line
30 1100 * * * /FULL_PATH/file.sh

crontab -u root new_crontab

I test file with at
at 1130 < file.sh

and it works fine, but I want this script to be executed 11:30 everyday.

Thanks

Typo? Should be
30 11 * * * /FULL_PATH/file.sh

I assume that file.sh permissions are set to executable.
