I just have started to use crontab and have some problems with it. I have already read some posts about how to use it on macOS, but it still not working.
So,
I write crontab -e, then edit it to
*/1 * * * * cliclick -w 1 m:3,3 (for example) - which mean repeat click in x=3;y=3 every 1 min.
And nothing has changed.
But, when I use just this command from the terminal everything is ok.
I have already tried to create a script.sh file, and the same situation: from hand-command it works, and from crontab isn't.
Maybe, I do something wrong? UPDATE: Full disk access crontab has.
UPDATE2:
I tried do it again on the BigSur. First of all I use a more simple command like echo:
* * * * * echo 'test' >> /*/Desktop/text.txt
And it works well. After that, I write my own script.sh
echo '2test' >> /Users/***/Desktop/t.txt
/usr/local/bin/cliclick -w 1 m:1,3
cliclick -w 1 m:55,44
And it the cliclick not working, as the other bin files located in /usr/local/bin/ (cliclick located in this path)
Note, that if I execute ./script.sh then cliclick works fine in both cases.
I thoroughly googled and found that run cliclick (and other) is NOT possible though crontab: https://github.com/BlueM/cliclick/issues/103
My Problem was, that cron had no access to the Disk, so it couldn't run my script. I had to give Full Disk Access for /usr/sbin/cron
