Hi, I want to set a cron job so that a file is executed every Saturday at 11 am.

This is what I did, but it doesn't work.

Can anyone tell me why it won't work? The command is correct since it worked before, probably the time settings(minute, hour, day, month, weekday) are not good.

Does the second one work? Maybe you haven't activated it at all?
Second idea was, are the pathes correct. Have you tried the command manually?

Yes, the second one works. The first command used to work until I messed with the time settings(I did not modify the command).

Ah, sorry you wrote that you did it manually...
Do you have root access to the machine? If yes, you could check if the cronjob is written to the cron tab file.
