    cron doesnt work on SLES 10(EVAL)

    OS: SLES 10 (EVALUATION)

    #rccron start
    then
    #crontab -e
    <submit the job> e.g
    33 22 * * * /usr/sbin/init 0

    But the system doesnt shutdown at 22:33... why ? It seems that cron is not working ? Is there any bug ?
    And where should I check for the logs(errors/warnings) for cron ? because /var/log/messages doesnt show me any info about cron.

    Here I'll add, that "at" is working quite fine.

    Plz help me resolve this issue
    Regards
