e2fsck won't run on a mounted filesystem, you would have to unmount the
filesystem first. Well, it'll run, but I don't think it will do it
non-interactively. It will raise quite a fuss.
Why are you running e2fsck from cron anyway? I never heard of an instance
of an ext2 filesystem randomly getting corrupted except in the two cases
of hardware failure and system crash (typically from a power failure). In
the first case there's nothing you can do about it anyway and in the
second case it will be corrected automatically at boot (or it will not, in
which case you have to do it manually anyway).
