Your cron job should be running every night at exactly midnight.

To see if the problem is in the cron system or your cronjob itself, try setting up a cronjob to send you an email every night at midnight and check to see if it does.

Once you know that works, then test the command yourself, logged in through the shell as the same user.

(If you can't do the test because you're a user without shell login ability, then you'll have to get your hosting company to help you.
