Even if you did, you wouldn't necessarily see any output unless you had mail 
working on the sytem - cron mails the output to the owner of the crontab.

I would suggest that first you get the command you want cron to run working 
from a shell file - sometimes there are tricky escapes required for arguments 
that aren't required on the command line - then make sure that you use 
crontab -e to create the file.  Also, make sure cron is actually running 
(chkconfig or rc-status should tell you).
