How can i verify that crontab is running?

Try to add a simple crontab like:

* * * * * /bin/touch /home/your_home_directory_here/cron_test.txt

this should update the time stamp on the file crontest.txt each minute.

Don’t forget to delete this test crontab after you have made sure it is running correctly.
