[ Side note: stop using sudo to run crontab commands for zod. Do it directly as zod. ]
To isolate this down to a cron issue or an issue with your script, use
crontab -e as the zod user, and make an entry:
Code:
* * * * * echo 'Hello from cron'
After a couple minutes, check
mail for zod -- you should see mail messages with 'Hello from cron' in the body.
If that doesn't work, do you have /etc/cron.allow or /etc/cron.deny files? If so, what's in 'em?
