Crontab not working in Cloud9 website


I am using the website Cloud9 to run a command after every few minutes but it doesn't seem to be working. When I run this command crontab -l, the output is the following:

* * * * * echo "Hello world" >> /tmp/output.txt

So the cron should create the file output.txt and write "Hello world" to the file but none of this happens. I have gone through many similar questions on google but none of those are related to mine because it works in my laptop but not in this website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • This website doesn't allow cronjobs for free accounts.
