The following script works fine on all worksation when it's start manually or if I run it line by line manually.
If I would like to run it on crontab, the following line "/usr/bin/yum -y install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.x86_64" not install the new release of vmplayer with no errors.
Just tested the following:
*/5 * * * * yum -y install gnome-nettool >> /tmp/crontest 2>&1
and it worked fine... Are you sure the script is executable by the crontab user? Try the redirects like in my example to see what is going on
