Have you checked the logs for any entries at the time that the commands are scheduled to run?

It sounds like a basic debug task. Are you using cron to fire a shell script? Do those scripts work if you invoke them from the command line? Can you get other commands to fire from cron?

ok.....friends thanks for your response.....me itself found the solution......
so if you want to run a paticular service ......you have to find the real path of that particular service and you have to give it in cron.
