Why does the script not run through the crontab file on macOS?

Question

Automation

Access to the machine is only from under the user (via vnc). Is the following statement true in this situation:

Crontab needs to be run like this: sudo crontab

- suddenly there is some specificity for the poppy?

I wrote the crontab file according to the recommendations from here :
30 23 * * * /bin/bash /Users/user/autoclear.sh >> /tmp/debug_cron 2>&1
(numbers and * - minutes/hours/days/month/days of the week;
then - interpreter (bin/bash);
/Users/user/autoclear.sh - path to the executable file from the "root" /)
Redirecting the output to the debug_cron file shows that the task via cron does not start from the word at all

Scripts here

• autoclear.sh
  

  #!/bin/bash
  
  echo "Autoclear"
  echo "====================================="
  echo "QA"
  
  # Completion of active processes
  killall node
  killall rethinkdb
  
  echo Clearing cash folders...
  cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode
  rm -R DerivedData
  cd ~/stf
  rm -R rethinkdb_data
  
  echo Starting server...
  cd
  open -a Terminal.app ./serverstarter.sh
  cd ~/stf
  rethinkdb --bind all

  
  
• serverstarter.sh
  

  #!/bin/bash
  
  echo "Serverstarter"
  echo "====================================="
  echo "QA"
  
  echo Starting server...
  cd stf
  bin/stf local --public-ip xxx.xxx.x.xxx --wda-path ../WebDriverAgent

  
  где xxx.xxx.x.xxx - некоторый IP-адрес
  

Answer 1

It turns out that the .crontab extension is specified for the crontab file ! Fucking shame =)
