If you want to see output in your console: ps -a (e.x. tt1) crontab -e 23 14 * * * echo "file" > /dev/tt1

i tried to tweak the time and check if it will create an output on my terminal. but it does not show after the time pass. does crontab follow local time, universal time or rtc time?

If you need help remembering the crontab details run: cat /etc/crontab It will remind you what each column is for, minute, hour, etc
