What flavor of linux are you using?  Why did you edit crontab as opposed
to just putting the script in

/etc/cron.hourly
or=20
/etc/cron.daily
etc.?

perhaps try=20
rm -f /usr/dba/junk.out

else rm could ask you to verify that you want to delete the file.  for
me it only asks when I am logged in as root, but I do not know what cron
will do.

also if you have sendmail installed, you may want to check roots mail to
see any cron error messages.
