Answer 1

you can try the following solution as well:

chmod +x post.php
chmod +x bash.sh
echo "* * * * * /home/samitha/bash.sh >> /home/samitha/log/cron.log 2>&1" >> cronjob

chmod +x cronjob

/etc/init.d/crond start  #redhat based servers like centos
/etc/init.d/cron  start  #debian based servers like ubuntu

crontab cronjob
