Cron error

by Apr 10, 2026IT Tips0 comments

If you get an error message like this when you run cron -l

cron -l
cron: can't open or create /var/run/crond.pid: Permission denied

It's probably because you meant to run crontab -l

crontab -l
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
