Crontab not working logwatch.pl [FreeBSD 8 stable]

[Jeronimo Calvo]

did a crontab -r, a a new crontab -e, using:

* * * * * $HOME/.profile ; /bin/bash /var/log/auto_auth.sh
* * * * * $HOME/.profile ; /usr/bin/perl /local/sbin/logwatch.pl

tailing the /var/log/cron I can see that is being executed every
minute... but no emails arrived with is the proof that the script has
worked.
