How long does it run? Are you sure that one isn't running so long that
cron doesn't start the next?

Are you using complete paths in your script? Your path in an interactive
shell and the one supplied by cron may be different.

Path is from the root dir.

Do you mean /, or /root/? Put an env statement in the script, and have
that print it to a file, then examine your paths.

How can we print the entries in /etc/cron.d through commnad line as it
not showing any entries crontab -l as the entry in /etc/cron.d is for
root user .

You clearly don't understand what we're asking/telling you. I've never
used cron.d; either I set up a cron job via crontab - and you can *allow*
or disallow any user from having a crontab, or it's in /etc/cron.hourly,
/etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, or /etc/cron.monthly.

mark "and the pipe sign - "|", means "or""
