crontab job did not start on CentOS7 [duplicate]

Question

here is the crontab for root on my CentOS7 :

# crontab -l
# Lines below here are managed by Salt, do not edit
# SALT_CRON_IDENTIFIER:CLEANCORE
0 * * * * /var/lib/scality/cleancore/clean_core.bash --log --pattern "/var/tmp/core-\%e-\%p-\%t" --maxsize 10G --keep 3
0 18 * * */2 /root/shl/synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh

The script /root/shl/synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh did not run last night :

# ls ~/log | grep synchro_ADN_To_Scality-PAR-ADN-SYN01-20230130-18H
# systemctl status crond

And here is the synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh script :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

logFilePrefix=$(basename $0 .sh)
logFileSuffix=$(date +%Y%m%d-%HH%MM%S).log
echo "=> Starting <$HOME/shl/synchro_with--delete-during_PAR-ADN-SYN01.sh>, you can following this script in <$HOME/log/$logFilePrefix-PAR-ADN-SYN01-$logFileSuffix>."
$HOME/shl/synchro_with--delete-during_PAR-ADN-SYN01.sh >$HOME/log/$logFilePrefix-PAR-ADN-SYN01-$logFileSuffix 2>&1
logFileSuffix=$(basename $0 .sh)_$(date +%Y%m%d-%HH%MM%S).log
echo "=> Starting <$HOME/shl/synchro_with--delete-during_PAR-ADN-SYN02.sh>, you can following this script in <$HOME/log/$logFilePrefix-PAR-ADN-SYN02-$logFileSuffix>."
$HOME/shl/synchro_with--delete-during_PAR-ADN-SYN02.sh >$HOME/log/$logFilePrefix-PAR-ADN-SYN02-$logFileSuffix 2>&1

EDIT0 :

# grep -r /root/shl/synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh /var/log/cron
# grep /root/shl/synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh /var/spool/mail/root
#

EDIT1 : My crontab was missing a newline after the last job. It works fine now.

What am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

1. Make sure that cron run script by grep -r '/root/shl/synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh' /var/log/cron to see if cron run that script
2. Make sure that script synchro_ADN_To_Scality.sh run properly by check output log of script or error email from cron
