I have my computers registered with the Linux Counter, and my main desktop machine is supposed to update its status once a week, using a cron job:

The permissions on the script are right, and if run manually, it works. This worked fine under Fedora 16, but doesn't now that I'm running F 17. Does anybody know what's happened, or how to find out?
How/where did you install this cron job? In "joe"'s crontab via "crontab -e"? Or in the system-wide crontab (e.g. one of/etc/cron*)?
How did you reach the conclusion that the job isn't executed at all? Does /var/log/cron mention it? Do other cron jobs work for you if you install them in the same way?
