To find out what is wrong with your cron you can type the following command in your terminal:

grep -i "cron1.php" /var/log/syslog

The syslog contains all log of crons.

Try run the code /usr/bin/php5 -q /var/www/cronjobs/cron1.php on terminal to check if there are errors.

You can also redirect all errors to a file:

0 * * * * /usr/bin/php5 -q /var/www/cronjobs/cron1.php 2> /tmp/errorCron1.txt
