[SOLVED] Ubuntu crontab simple echo to file not working

Issue

I am trying to set up some cronjobs on Ubuntu for daily tasks. To do so I added for example the line

25 11 * * * ~/test_script.sh

to the sudo crontab -e table. In the test_script.sh I am trying a simple echo to a log file like this:

#!/bin/bash
# file: test_script

 echo "Test" >> ~/test.log

When I run the script normally a line with "Test" is added to test.log. However at 11:25 nothing seems to happen. I already checked if the time is set correctly using echo $(date).

What am I missing here?

Solution

you should paste the full path of script. For example 25 11 * * * /home/xxxx/test_script.sh
