Then you have a cron problem and not a postgresql problem.

What that problem is is impossible to say with the information you have
given us. What was the exact crontab entry, and what did it do? (When
describing a problem, always use positives, not negatives. "it did not
work" is particularly useless, since there are a gazillion ways in which
something could not do what you expected.)

> Have you got something similar working?

Yes. Cleaning up stuff is probably one of the most frequent uses of
cron.
