Re: crontab behaviour
>>what could be the reason
You are wrong your cron entry will not run daily as per your entry it will run
0 min 18 hr. but every 6 day of week.
In crontab file there are five fields
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
For more information see the below link

Re: crontab behaviour
I assume you have something other than just "sh" as the command?

Re: crontab behaviour
Where did you get this? Did you type "crontab -l"?
Run crontab -l and check if there is another cron entry for the same "sh" script.
Check what the sh script does when it runs. It could be scheduling itself to run again in 24 hours.
