Almost sturely cron will not be able to find and run the job since the
pretty.sh script is not in the PATH. You have to modify the PATH of
the user (permanently) or add a PATH definition on top of the crontab
file configuration:

$ crontab -e
PATH=$PATH:$HOME
20 16 * * *     /home/phil/pretty.sh

and then make sure your script is executable. Finally to check that
cron is running you have to:
ps -auxw | grep cron
