Cron not working

Cron package not working for me.
I have to use crontab -e and via Web Gui and not run my scripts
Pfsense 2.1 Cron 0.1.8

Editing crontab from the command line will not work for long - it will be overwritten by the pfSense-defined config. The Cron package works nicely for me.
What are you entering as the command to execute?
On pfSense you usually need to specify the full path to all executables.

/bin/echo 1 >> /root/eu.txt

And call this on gui cron on web interface
1 * * * * * /bin/sh /root/eu.sh
