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.

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.
