I am trying to create a .txt file via Cron in Ubuntu, but I have no error errors nor is the file created. I am editing or archiving the file inside / etc with the following command line:

'* * * * * cd /home/appi9-02/Documentos && touch newFile.txt'

I already tried:

'* * * * * cd /home/appi9-02/Documentos && touch newFile.txt'

After editing I save and restart cron with the following command: sudo service cron restart.

A lot of time goes by and the file is not created.

  • Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! Please [edit] your question to specify what file you are editing. Restarting cron service is definitely not necessary, it automatically reads current configuration when it’s triggered. – Melebius Oct 01 '19 at 12:43
  • Thanks everyone, I managed to solve in the right place. I was editing the file / etc / crontab. This is Linux itself but with the command crontab -e, has crontab for my edit. I added what I needed to this file and it worked perfectly. – Junior Oliveira Oct 01 '19 at 13:42
