Oh, you mean you can create an entry in root's crontab to run it.
I usually put the scripts in /usr/etc, then put a symlink from the script to
something in /etc/cron.daily (or whatever). That works.
May I suggest you develop some logging or error reporting that shows you if
the script is getting called?
