I have created a cronjob to run Rsync. The permissions for the file that I am using for cronjob is as follows:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 891 Sep 18 09:51 v-user-rsync-alldata
If I run it on the command line using “bash v-user-rsync-alldata”, it works as expected. However, when I added a cron job thru the HestiaCP to automate it, the cronjob did not run. Is there anything else that I am missing in setting up a new cronjob? The default cronjobs that come with HestiaCP installtion are working as expected.

sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-update-letsencrypt-ssl

secure way:
set cron task php script running without sudo:
/usr/bin/php /home/admin/web/.../cron.php
insecure way:

add line:
admin ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/php
save
test:
login as admin:
