Lightsail Lamp Stack CRONS wont work

0

Hi.,

I have a LightSail running PHP LAMP stack 8.1, No matter how I try I cannot get crons to work correctly.

ps ax | grep cron Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep cron

service cron start -bash: service: command not found

service cron restart -bash: service: command not found

This is my Crontab -e

*/3 * * * * /usr/bin/curl -sS http://live.mysite.com/crons/cron.php >/dev/null >

*/3 * * * * WGET http://live.mysite.com/crons/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

*/3 * * * * php -q /opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs/crons/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1


Am I Doing something wrong?
