Chanikya,

On one of my Linux boxes, I can run the run-parts executable to have it
process the crontab entries but I feel Dan is correct and perhaps there's
something wrong with your crontab entry. Maybe try passing the full path
to the curl executable to see if anything changes? Also, for
troubleshooting purposes, perhaps you could redirect the output to some
file, just to see if there's any error messages being thrown, maybe
something like this:

0 6 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/curl --silent http://192.168.3.201/30000/15 2>&1
>/home/youruserdir/cronoutput.log
or something similar.
