I thought that putting an * in your crontab meant that your cronjob would
run for every possible value of that field, ie. that script.csh would run
every day at 2.00am, 2.01am, 2.02am, ..., 2.59am

The line should read:

	0     2       *       *       *       root    /bin/csh /root/script.csh

if you want your script run every day at 2.00 am.
