    I don't see any problems here. So, only the 1 minutes does not work? or all the cronjob?

    After changing it.. have you loaded into memory. I am more familiar with the Unix system. In which you can run.
    > crontab -l
    This is to list all the cron processes that is loaded in memory. Maybe you can give a try and check if your newer changes are in memory.

    What happens when you do those cron jobs from the command line? i.e login as the user who's cron is having the problems, and cut and paste the cron line exactly as it's listed. Does it work? My first suspicion is the GET command or the cron job itself.

    Another thing to try just for the heck of it is to put that GET command into a shell script file and then try running the file (I'm reaching on that, but I'd try it just to see what happens).

    When you run the command
    > crontab -l

    You will be able to see a list of jobs in the cron.

    the problem is that GET
    try to replace it with "wget" or "lynx" if server suport it.

    or if the scripts are on same server something like "php /path/to/scrip.php"

    Aside from the wget problems etc, if the 2nd line is meant to excecute every minute, it won't - it will execute at 1 minute past each hour. It needs to be changed to *
