No idea. Make sure that you didn't modify the autorun script and remove
the 'grep' calls that are in there. Also make sure that you have read and
write permissions on those files and directory.
Another thought (related to below), is that the machine kills the mud and
the script at the same time when it reboots so the script never has a
chance to add onto the files that are in the log/ directory. To solve
this problem, change servers. (Hint: mud.gator.net They are excellent!)

I'm not wizard at cron, so I'd have to point you to the Linux Bible or
someother top-notch Linux book. One online references that _might_ help is:
man cron
