Cron jobs not running

[prakalejas]

Router Asus RT-N66U 376.45 firmware (same thing with AC56U)

I created simple job:

1 * * * * logger TEST

And it is simply not executed. Tried adding admin username to cron job, tried restarting router, tried adding cron job creation script in /jffs/scripts/services-start, tried restarting crond and cru services. Nothing helps.

Any ideas?

What I need is to create cron job to keep u2ec service alive. I had a script with infinite loop, but somehow it is stopped by the router :-(

if you want each minute than syntax must be:

/1 * * * * logger TEST
or
*/1 * * * * logger TEST

other fields accept only numbers or given name (month, day of week) by commas

syntax
1 * * * * logger TEST - run command on first minute of each hour.

/1 * * * * logger TEST = SYNTAX error
*/1 * * * * logger TEST = crond[692]: crond: USER root pid 9169 yey!!! It works

Thank You!

At the same time, new problem occured:

logger writes this on every cron job execution (vsible on System log-General log):
crond[692]: crond: USER root pid 9760 cmd /jffs/scripts/PrintRestart.sh

tried this in services-start file:
/usr/sbin/cru a PrintRestart "*/1 * * * * /jffs/scripts/PrintRestart.sh" > /dev/null 2>&1

but still, no success disabling logging of cron job event, even if it's successful.

Any ideas?

restart crond with low log level.

by default
Jan 1 02:00:15 crond[362]: crond: crond (busybox 1.20.2) started, log level 8
