Try the format used in these samples.Revert back if you still have a problem.

Run 'foo.php' every Sunday, capturing output:

* * * * Sun /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/foo.php >> $HOME/log/foo.txt 2>&1

Run 'email.php' every day at midnight:

0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/email.php

Run job1 every 10 minutes (except on the hour), job2 on the hour (except at midnight), job3 at midnight (except Monday) and job4 at midnight on Monday, capturing output:

10-50/10 * * * * $HOME/bin/job1 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 1-23 * * * $HOME/bin/job2 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 0 * * 0,2-6 $HOME/bin/job3 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 0 * * Mon $HOME/bin/job4 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1

Quite a few of your cron-job's will self terminate. Free hosting only allows them to execute every 5 minutes; any of them that execute within 5 minutes of each other (including the minute-by-minute cron which will conflict with everything) will disappear without a trace as it's not allowed.

On free hosting you can have 1 that executes every 5 minutes; if you upgrade to Prime, Illuminated, or Premium that limit goes away, but with the current setup for crons I can see on your account, they'll keep disappearing.

Did you write this script yourself or is it by a third party? Why do you need the secret code?

From the TOS:

* Crons: We do not allow more than one cron within a 5 minute time period per account. This means if you have two crons you must make sure that both do not go off within 5 minutes of each other.

It is clear that having the code is because you only want to be the only person to run it.
But if you run it from a cron and store it outside the Document Root, nobody can run it but you.
Running it directly will not include the query string. You have to access it via the web, ie wget

The system is set up so that you must have 5 minutes between any execution of cron jobs.
a) You cannot run 1 minute crons. They must be at least 5 minutes
b) You cannot run one job at 0,5,15 etc and another at 2,7,12 etc. They are not spaced 5 minutes apart. Same thing goes if you run one every five minutes and another at 0 and 30 each hour.
