Can't get cron jobs running

[delhux]

I've got a couple of scripts that work flawlessly when I run them manually. However, I can't seem to get them to work as cron jobs. I've added the following cron jobs to the /etc/cron.d/ directory on my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+:

/etc/cron.d/import_torrents

#55  * * *  * root  /usr/local/bin/import_torrents &> /dev/null

/etc/cron.d/rss_script

#50  * * *  * root  /usr/local/bin/rss_script &> /dev/null

I've tried starting and restarting cron:

/etc/init.d/cron start

/etc/init.d/cron restart

I even tried to install rcconf via apt-get, but couldn't get it to run.

Is there something wrong with the way I've set up these cron jobs?

Hi

To get the cron jobs to run remove the "#" from the beginning.

55  * * *  * root  /usr/local/bin/import_torrents &> /dev/null
50  * * *  * root  /usr/local/bin/rss_script &> /dev/null

Hope this helps
