I found my error (sometimes explaining it helps finding the light from
the dark) ...
You need to specify the shebang (#!/bin/cash) in the script, and it
works like this !!
I could have found this before ...

Thanks for the tip but the cron was already a hack to evolution 1.0 not
able to run a script. Now that it is gone with 1.2+, i can use only the
script ...
