Description:
The same script defined inside cronjob when executed manually works fine and renews cert but the cronjob never works. I can see the cron job listed when we do crontab -l but it does not seem to work.

Thanks for your help @Ibone. Turns out the problem was happening as I had the a typo in my script for bash and it was "#!bin/bash" instead of "#!/bin/bash". Hope this helps some other people.
