@reboot cronjob not executing

Question

I have a Python script which simply writes some text and saves it to a file

#! /usr/bin/python3
def main():
     filename = \'/home/user/testHello.txt\'
             


        

Answer 1

Mark Roberts pointed out a few things I'd done wrong.

Namely, the spaces here

MAIL = root
HOME = /

Get rid of those spaces..

Next, having Cron configuration fixed to email every minute.. instead of what I had :

*/1 * * * * /home/user/tester.py

Seems to me Lubuntu doesn't support the @Reboot Cron syntax.
