fstrim wont run in a cronjob

Question

I have the following cronjob setup

@daily /root/trim.sh

/root/trim.sh

fstrim -av

but it just doesn't run. It does when run /root/trim.sh manually. It has chmod +x permissions. What is causing this?

Most likely because /sbin is not in the cron path; try changing the script to /sbin/fstrim -av or define an appropriate PATH — steeldriver, Jun 01 '20 at 20:51

/sbin was missing /sbin/fstrim -av

Why are your inventing new unique bicycle? The fstrim already has SystemD timer /lib/systemd/system/fstrim.timer for this purpose running weekly, which is enough. – N0rbert Jun 02 '20 at 07:48
