finally i found a solution ... instead of entering the cronjob with

crontab -e

i needed to edit the crontab file directly

nano /etc/crontab

adding e.g. something like

*/5 *     * * *   root  /bin/bash /var/scripts/vpn-check.sh

and its fine now!

Thank you all for your help ... hope my solution will help other people as well.
