Hello,
I’m experiencing a validation issue with Task 5 from the 100 Days of DevOps course.
Task Requirements:
- Install
croniepackage on all Nautilus app servers - Start
crondservice - Add cron job:
*/5 * * * * echo hello > /tmp/cron_textfor root user
What I’ve Done:
-
Installed croniepackage on all 3 app servers (stapp01, stapp02, stapp03) -
Started and enabled crondservice on all servers -
Added the exact cron job for root user on all servers using: echo "*/5 * * * * echo hello > /tmp/cron_text" | crontab - -
Verified with crontab -lshowing 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:
