Why is Crontab skipping a task?

Question

Task Schedulers

In crontab -e

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/pm2 restart all

In /etc/crontab

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Crontab can randomly execute a task at:
22:45
22:50
23:35

Answer 1

Most likely, cron doesn't skip it, but for some reason the task is not executed.
Place the task in a script, and already write this script in crontab. Now you can add something like

date >> my_log.txt
echo ура! скрипт запустился! >> my_log.txt

...and look in the log to see if there really were gaps.
