title: Going nuts with executing python script via crontab on debian!
body: <p>This is what my crontab file looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>* * * * *  root /usr/bin/python /root/test.py &gt;&gt; /root/classwatch.log 2&gt;&amp;1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what my python script looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python
  print "hello"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The cronjob creates the log file. But it is empty. I am also pretty certain that the python file is not being executed.</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate any help! I've been playing with it for past 4 hrs with no luck.</p>
