What makes you think it is not running?

That looks right.

Can you clarify?  I use several remote ICS files in korganizer with no
problem.  You should not need to use cron for automatic updates.
Instead, in the Resource Configuration for the remote calendar
(Right-click, edit), set an automatic reload interval.  Note that if you
save an remote ICS file manually (e.g. with wget) than import it into
Korganizer, future changes to that ICS file will be ignored unless you
manually import it again.  Thus, use an actual remote calendar when you
want to receive updates.
