I've made a tool for backing up website files & DB. It works as expected if ran by any user. Usually it takes around a minute to run in my configuration. When I added it to the cron it starts but exits immediately. If the application experiences any error it loggs in stdout & in the log file, but in this case it logged none.
Found following in /var/log/cron
Feb 8 20:43:01 test-server CROND[1522301]: (developer) CMD (/mnt/path/to/bin >> /mnt/path/to/exec.log)
Feb 8 20:43:02 test-server CROND[1522299]: (developer) CMDEND (/mnt/path/to/bin >> /mnt/path/to/exec.log)
The cron
# test cron
47 20 8 * * user /mnt/path/to/bin >> /mnt/path/to/exec.log
Contents of /mnt/path/to/exec.log
[2024-02-08 20:47:01] Starting backup
When it runs correctly it looks like following
[2024-02-07 20:13:11] Starting backup

How this can be fixed, so the task gets ran correctly?
