The crontab entry: * 13 * * * root /usr/local/vscanx/vscanx... will run a crontab entry from 13:00 until 13:59 as the wild card '' will work for every minute. You probably want: 0 13 * * root /usr/local/vscanx/vscanx... to run the command exactly at 13:00 and no other time - otherwise you'll have a really slow machine once you get back from lunch!
