What If I Want to Test My Cron Job?

Testing your cron job before relying on it is a crucial step to ensure it functions correctly. If you have SSH access, you can run the command directly in the terminal. This allows you to see immediate results and verify that the script or command executes as expected. Simply log into your server via SSH, navigate to the directory where your script is located, and execute the command. If everything works properly, you can confidently rely on your cron job to run automatically at scheduled intervals. Regular testing helps catch errors and improve the reliability of your automated tasks.
