Manual execution of cron-tasks are working, but not from crontab. Please suggest. **Your software** My Mautic version is: v4.2.1 My PHP version is: 7.4.29 My Database type and version is: MySQL 5.7 Output when I run segment update manually: ```auto Rebuilding contacts for segment 4 4 total contact(s) to be added in batches of 300 4/4 [============================] 100% 0 total contact(s) to be removed in batches of 300 4 contact(s) affected Rebuilding contacts for segment 2 0 total contact(s) to be added in batches of 300 0 total contact(s) to be removed in batches of 300 0 contact(s) affected Rebuilding contacts for segment 1 0 total contact(s) to be added in batches of 300 0 total contact(s) to be removed in batches of 300 0 contact(s) affected Rebuilding contacts for segment 5 0 total contact(s) to be added in batches of 300 0 total contact(s) to be removed in batches of 300 0 contact(s) affected Rebuilding contacts for segment 6 189465 total contact(s) to be added in batches of 300 23987/189465 [===>------------------------] 12% ``` ---

Could be an issue with your crontab Try a different command something simple like `mkdir testcrontab` to see if crontab is working or not for sure. ---
