Lab Validation Issue - Task 5: 100 Days of DevOps - Cron Job Configuration

Hello,

I’m experiencing a validation issue with Task 5 from the 100 Days of DevOps course.

Task Requirements:

  • Install cronie package on all Nautilus app servers
  • Start crond service
  • Add cron job: */5 * * * * echo hello > /tmp/cron_text for root user

What I’ve Done:

  1. :white_check_mark: Installed cronie package on all 3 app servers (stapp01, stapp02, stapp03)
  2. :white_check_mark: Started and enabled crond service on all servers
  3. :white_check_mark: Added the exact cron job for root user on all servers using: echo "*/5 * * * * echo hello > /tmp/cron_text" | crontab -
  4. :white_check_mark: Verified with crontab -l showing the correct entry on all servers

Issue: The lab validation is failing with error: “Required cron not found for root user on stapp01”

However, when I run crontab -l as root on stapp01, it clearly shows:
