OK , I found out if I put the crontab in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
root I do get the job run , so the basic function is there. It's
config problem.
AFAIKT this is specific user crontabs , this is run if I log in as
root. What I was trying for was a system wide crontab that would get
run on boot.
I believed that was /etc/crontab by default.
It seems not.
