crontab under bos

I have a small script for bos. The script works perfectly under the user bos.

I would like to execute the script for bos via crontab. I have tried crontab -e under root, bitcoin and bos. Crontab does not execute the script for bos for any user.

I also have lnd-charge that I use under the bitcoin user. I also have a script for lnd-charge that I run as bitcoin user in crontab -e without any problems.

It seems to me that the crontab in the user bos is ineffective.

the crontab is: */5 * * * /home/bos/check-process.sh

Unfortunately I don’t have a log to show or I can’t find it. How can I run a script intended for bos with crontab -e?

Thank`s Perfect, through your tip I found the solution.

I only changed the file “telegram” to screen -dmS torify /home/bos/.npm-global/bin/bos telegram --connect myKEY-from-TelegramBot

now the crontab runs every 5 min and checks the script if the Telegram service of BOS is running. */5 * * * * /home/bos/start-telegram/check-process.sh >> /home/bos/start-telegram/cronlog.log 2>&1

It would suffice to create a crontab with @reboot sleep 300 && /home/bos/start-telegram/check-process.sh >> /home/bos/start-telegram/cronlog.log 2>&1 2>&1

The script “check-process.sh” checks whether the service has started and restarts if necessary. It’s nice but almost excessive for such a small thing. We do everything to find a solution. 😃

@openoms thank you for your time and your thoughts.

the bos user is not in sudoers so don’t have sudo in any of the scripts running with the bos user.

make sure lines are not commented out in the crontab and use absolute paths like:

30 */4 * * * sudo -u bos /home/bos/.npm-global/bin/bos reconnect

or

*/5 * * * * sudo -u bitcoin /home/bitcoin/.local/bin/charge-lnd -c /home/bitcoin/charge-lnd/charge.config

this applies to the scripts also.
