What does your syslog tell you?

Subject: Cronjobs not running

$ps -W|grep cron
1412		1384		1600		con	18	Jan 17
/usr/sbin/cron

0 1 * * mon /home/Administrator/monday.sh
0 1 * * tue /home/Administrator/tuesday.sh
0 1 * * wed /home/Administrator/wednesday.sh
0 1 * * thu /home/Administrator/thursday.sh
0 1 * * fri /home/Administrator/friday.sh
0 1 * * sat /home/Administrator/saturday.sh

example contents of monday.sh (755):
#!/bin/sh
rm -rf /cygdrive/M/ # M is a persistent, network mapped drive
cp -Rv /cygdrive/D/IBM /cygdrive/M/
cp -Rv /cygdrive/D/ar /cygdrive/M/

When I login the next morning, there is nothing in M:\

However, if I run these scripts manually, they work just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks - 
Gabe
