https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79324

I am testing crontab on Ubuntu 8.04 and I can not get it to work at all. i have tried the manual at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto but still no luck

I set my cron about two minutes ahead with the following parameters by using crontab -e and also sudo crontab -e and nothing works but the crontab installs fine as it gives no errors. please advice how I can get this to work

# m h  dom mon dow   command
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
44 19 * * * /usr/bin/firefox
44 07 * * * /usr/bin/firefox
