cron job

[manilx]

Hi

I need to run a cron job every 15mins for heartbeat to a alarm service:
I need to run

curl "https://ipv64.net/health.php?token=xxxxxxxx"

I've installed the cron package and created a new job

15 	* 	* 	* 	* 	root 	curl "https://ipv64.net/health.php?token=xxxxxxxx"

On first test this seemed to run but now it doesn't as I don't get the heartbeat at the receiving site.

1. where can I check if this is running and if it has some error? Can't find the log.
2. Did I do this correctly?

Thx in advance!

@manilx It should be "*/15" in the first column for every 15 minutes. "15" will run at 15 minutes past the hour. (vs, any time divisible by 15)

@steveits Thank You! Changed it and will see how it goes.

You also usually need the full path to the binary for commands run there.

@stephenw10 What would be the full path for curl?
