The above lines should be either be added to the /etc/crontab file. (DO
NOT overwrite the /etc/crontab file as it runs the
/usr/lib/cron/run-crons file and this will break other stuff).
Or preferably you should add
SHELL=/bin/sh
at the beginning of the file to force it to run the bash shell..
If you mail to be sent flagging a result
MAILTO=<your account>
The man page for cron is not strictly accurate for the SuSE distro...
but man 5 crontab should give further details that are good.
