cron job in crontab not working

Question

I have added the following entry:

*/1 * * * * /home/coddict/myapp-dev/spoolemailsender

and the shell that I am trying to execute (the file spoolemailsender) has the following:

#!/bin/sh

php app/console swiftmailer:spool:send --env=dev

Why isn't this script running every 1 minute? Do I need another command to get this cron job running?

Answer 1

You forgot to put user to execute cron job:

*/1 * * * * root /home/coddict/myapp-dev/./spoolemailsender

or

*/1 * * * * root sh /home/coddict/myapp-dev/spoolemailsender

root for example.
Assuming spoolemailsender is executable script and you don't need to do ./spoolemailsender or sh spoolemailsender
