Cron jobs not running on openwrt

[simtcrom]

Hello,

My system is,

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call system board
{
        "kernel": "6.6.67",
        "hostname": "OpenWrt",
        "system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 3",
        "model": "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1",
        "board_name": "raspberrypi,4-model-b",
        "rootfs_type": "ext4",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "24.10.0-rc4",
                "revision": "r28211-d55754ce0d",
                "target": "bcm27xx/bcm2711",
                "description": "OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc4 r28211-d55754ce0d",
                "builddate": "1734915335"
        }
}

I setup a cron they never run.
cron system service is running,

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/cron status
active with no instances

Any thoughts?

and you obviously restarted cron after creating the schedule + the extra char/line ?

Thank you.
As per the notes, I left an empty line in cron
also ran service cron restart
And now cron start working.
