Cronjob doesn't run

JeffreyZ

Basic Pleskian
I set a cronjob to run daily at 2:10am. It shows that it ran in the cron log file. However, it doesn't actually run.

From the log:
Nov 20 02:10:01 my-hosting CROND[30311]: (root) CMD (/root/rsyncnet.sh)

Yet from a command line I can run it without a problem.

I set up the cron using SSH (as root) and then verified it in the Plesk panel. (attached image).

Seems it might be a security / permissions issue.

Turns out the cronjob ran but failed because a password was needed. I had accidentally overwritten the folder that contained SSH keys. Once that was fixed the rsync backup completted.
