Does your first line include the following?

#!/bin/sh
3

yes it is there is a.sh

4

Can you post the a.sh script?

5

#!/bin/sh

cd /Feed/bin

touch flag

Also the crontab use to run correctly daily its only for past 3 days it is not running

Hmm, the 'touch flag' command shouldn't return any output to send to the log.txt. I wouldn't expect anything to be in that file. What are you expecting to be in the file?

Does the crontab user have write permission to /Feed/bin ?
Have you tried modifying the script to simply

touch /Feed/bin/flag

If the timestamp changes on the logfile, the cron is working.
