| ''crontab'' is finicky! crontab does not necessary use BASH and the full path to the command must be given for reliable performance. Further to this cron error messages are sent to the system mail server, so if this is not setup or otherwise not working the error message go nowhere. Systemd has a service to redirect output of cron jobs to systemd's journal: ''/usr/bin/systemd-cat -t controllist'', again the full path is given. The command path can be found using ''which'', e.g. ''which nft''. In any case the final crontab command entry would look like: ''/usr/bin/systemd-cat -t controllist /home/baumkp/controllist.sh'', remembering everything after the 5th space is passed to the system shell command interpreter. | ''crontab'' is finicky! crontab does not necessary use BASH and the full path to the command must be given for reliable performance.
