I wanted to use crontab to set up a reoccurring script. I want it to run a python script everyday at 23:59, this is what I use:

```
59 23 * * * python /var/www/script.py

```

This doesn't seem to work. The script works fine when I run it standalone, but it doesn't get activated at 2359.

I tried something else as well:

```
*/1 * * * * python /var/www/script.py

```

This is would be a cron to run that same script once every minute. This works fine, it gets called every minute and all is good

Is there a reason why setting a specific time of day does not work, but setting it to go off every minute does?
