The scripts in /etc/cron.d/ all run fine, but those in /etc/cron.hourly, etc, seem to be ignored.
Tried: printf "#"'!'"/bin/bash\ntouch /tmp/cron.test\n" > /etc/cron.hourly/cront.test; chmod 755 /etc/cron.hourly/cront.test
Next hour: $ ll /tmp/cron.test -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 1 13:01 /tmp/cron.test
Did you run your script has the cron user...? Do you have the following in your /etc/crontab? 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
