Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-134 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have installed Buster and it is all quite fresh. My root file system is encrypted. I added two commands to crontab both as root user (sudo crontab -e) and in /etc/crontab but neither is working @reboot root iwconfig wlp3s0 txpower 10 @reboot root echo Logged time = %time% %date% >> /home/marc/log.txt when adding to the user version of crontab I exclude the root username. The log.txt file is missing from my system.
