I have a cron job set up, but it seems to be failing. I'm not sure why it's not working as expected. The cron job is supposed to run a specific script at a scheduled time, but it's not executing properly. Why is my cron job failing?

One way in which invalid permissions can cause cron jobs to fail is by ignoring files owned by non-root users.

If you add a cron job as a file in a directory like /etc/cron.*/, it must be owned by the root user.

Files owned by other users will simply be disregarded by the cron service.
