Hi All,
Thanks for all who had responded to my query. 
the answer for that is
When you are editing a cronfile without using crontab -e , then u need to 
explicitly signal to crond . the best way is to use crontab -e , this will 
signal the crond automatically after u save the file.

once again I thank all those who responded
Regards,
Rasanth
