It's not going to show anything since you're not capturing it's output. Try adding a > /tmp/Hello or something. Or put it in a bash script (chmod +x scriptname to make it executable) to run from cron:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo "Hello".`date` > /tmp/Hello
Code:
* * * * * /home/youruser/Hello.sh
And change your minute to * so your not waiting an hour for it to execute while you troubleshoot.
