It runs flawlessy, but you forget to add the "user" field in your
crontab - check with your linux PC.

I tried with:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
#---------------------------------------------------------------
# m  h  D  M  w  cmd
#---------------------------------------------------------------
*/1  *  *  *  *  root  /root/mestre

mestre is the example written by Wolfgang. Each minute you will get an
entry in /tmp/logfile.
