Executing 'systemctl poweroff' from script run by cron.

I am running Buster after fairly deafult installation. One of my scripts executes '/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff' command. And I am having trouble executing this script from cron. 1. If run from user's CLI, the script succeeds. 2. If run from root crontab the script succeeds.

Dear debians, Is this pam module deprecated? I can't find the package that provides it on debian buster. And I get a lot of logs: CRON: PAM adding faulty module: pam_ck_connector.so SSHD: PAM adding faulty module: pam_ck_connector.so unable to dlopen(pam_ck_connector.so): /lib/sec
