i did this from the console crontab -e

That will run 10 minutes after each hour.
If you want it to run every ten minutes use: **/10* * * * * curl http://mysite.com/test.php for ten minute intervals.
Check /var/log/cron to see if it gives you any hints.
then i exited vi
then i did crontab -l and the cron job was listed
then i did
/sbin/service crond start
and i waited for 10 mins to get a message echo to my console. the message is displayed in my browser when the php script(http://mysite.com/test.php) is loaded via my browser. The message is also shown on my console when d curl command is run direct from the console.
the problem is getting the message from the cronjob.
what could be wrong ? could it be that the job is not well setup ?
note , i logged in as root user.
please help
