cron Just Works.  `crontab -l` lists your crontab file (basically
just like you're running `cat` on the file.  `crontab -e` opens
$EDITOR on the file.

Nothing new there, I'd think, from Linux.  You mention
a web form ... are we sure it's implemented correctly?

I guess the question I'd ask in return, (assuming I even
found what yours was), is "do you get any mail from the
system, ever?"

For me, every cronjob that's not redirected to /dev/null
sends a Real Nice email to root at hostname.domain.tld....

Maybe you should check your email config.  See especially
/etc/mail/aliases . . .
