Try '/bin/rm' and '/bin/date'. Also, if you install ssmtp or exim,
cron could send you email if there were failures.
Service : cron
Current State : Running
Controls Accepted : Stop
Command : /usr/sbin/cron -D
stdin path : /dev/null
stdout path : /var/log/cron.log
stderr path : /var/log/cron.log
Process Type : Own Process
Startup : Automatic
Account : LocalSystem
This says that cron is running as LocalSystem, not cron_server.
Your sshd_server user should work for cron too if it works for sshd.
