Im using OSX and having trouble getting a cron job to run. I type the following:
$ sudo -i
$ crontab -e
I then enter:
* * * * * root ifconfig en0 down > /dev/null
0 19 * * * root ifconfig en0 down > /dev/null
0 7 * * * root ifconfig en0 up > /dev/null
and no success, the first line is for testing. I want it to shut off my internet. The next two lines I plan to leave in, once I get this working.

ifconfig en0 down
