CirrusCrontab for backups - Entries not running
Trying to configure a cron-based daily backup for a vCMP guest, running v13.1.1. As root, using crontab -e, I've added the following lines:
27 8 * * * /usr/bin/tmsh save sys ucs config1.ucs ...
Solution Information: The jobs were running, but not at specified times. The root cause was that the guest had not been restarted since the time zone was set, and cron was using the previous time zone. See K14113 for the details on how to restart the cron daemon.

CirrocumulusI just tested this on v 13.1.1.3.
All I did was add:
*/1 * * * * tmsh save sys ucs thisisatest.ucs(The */1 * * * * just runs it every minute)
and I have a fresh ucs created.
You are running rontab -e and then doing "Esc:wq" then enter to quit editing correct?
