I add the 



30 22 * * * php /www/wwwroot/easy_xyz/xcat sendDiaryMail


line in my crontab -e to like this:



30 22 * * * php /www/wwwroot/easy_xyz/xcat sendDiaryMail

55 0 * * * "/root/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/root/.acme.sh" > /dev/null


but get error:



crontab: installing new crontab

"/tmp/crontab.d7MGaW":1: bad minute

errors in crontab file, can't install.

Do you want to retry the same edit?


where is the issue, I did not find it.

    Try removing the line and write it by your hand at the end of file and not copy / paste, you may see it more clear.
