I wrote three report_time to cron jobs 

## Report time
*/1 6-23 * * * /home/me/Music/src/report_time.py &> /dev/null


## Report time 2
*/1 6-23 * * *  cvlc /home/me/Music/audio/bell.wav &> /dev/null

## report time
*/1 6-23 * * *  vlc /home/me/Music/audio/bell.wav &> /dev/null

However, non of them works as expected, they are all of mute and silence.

What' s the problem?

    Redirect the errors (and outputs) to a log file and see what it says. FYI unless you have arranged otherwise, cron jobs will be run using sh - which doesn't understand &> as a stdout+stderr redirection - use > log 2>&1 instead – steeldriver Jul 11 '19 at 01:33
  • cvlc and vlc are both w/o a directory. why? – Rinzwind Jul 12 '19 at 17:11
