I am new to crontab. I tried to use the crontab like this :

The script named "script.ksh" contains
echo "welcome"

The script named "script1.ksh" contains
* * * * * /oracle/script.ksh
(run every minute)

$ crontab script1.ksh

I am not able to get any result.

Where do you expect/desire to get/see the output?

I got the output only once. Whereas I have scheduled every one minute. It should execute it every minute.

I am NOT standing behind you.

I don't know what you have.
I don't know what you do.
I don't know what you see.
It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how OS responds.

It works for me.

bcm@bcm-laptop:~$ crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * /home/bcm/example.sh
bcm@bcm-laptop:~$ cat example.sh
echo "Hello, WORLD" > /tmp/capture.log
ls -l /tmp/capture.log
bcm@bcm-laptop:~$ ls -l /tmp/capture.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 bcm dba 13 2011-04-23 20:58 /tmp/capture.log
bcm@bcm-laptop:~$ date
