So I tried it like this:
without success.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Alternatively, make /path/to/script.sh executable.
Also, you don't need the & at the end - cron runs jobs separately from each other, and expects them to run in the foreground.
Otherwise fine!!
