scripts nor working in crontab

Latest response

Server: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4

My script contains only:
curl -u admin:123!@ -X POST http://localhost:4502/system/console/jmx/com.adobe.granite:type=Repository/op/startBackup/java.lang.String?target=/opt/prod_auth_backup/

Crontab entry:
30 14 * * * /bin/bash /opt/scripts/backup_author.sh

I can manually run the script but its not working in crontab.I already tried couple of things from below URLs but did not help.

  1. When posting code snippets, use the requisite code tags. Makes things a lot easier for your readers to parse your post. See the "Formatting Help" link for appropriate MarkDown to use for code.
  2. Whenever you have a URL that has "special" characters in it, it's a good idea to protect those characters with either single- or double-quotes around the URL.
  3. Beyond the above, it's hard to provide assistance without relevant error-logs.

1) Updated the only line i have in my script.

2) here is my latest URL

curl -u admin:123!@ -X POST http://localhost:4502/system/console/jmx/com.adobe.granite:type=Repository/op/startBackup/java.lang.String?target=/opt/prod_auth_backup/

3)Which error logs you are refereeing.I dont see anything in /var/log/message and in /var/log/cron Jul 5 16:08:01 localhost CROND[3891]: (root) CMD (/bin/bash /opt/scripts/backup_author.sh)
