weird issues with cron

[nxvash]

I have this set up on a ubuntu 21.10 server and it works great when I run it manually. It changes remote.domain.com to my public ip address almost instantly. I make a copy of the script and set it to change test.domain.com in a cron task running every minute. Doing a grep CRON /var/log/syslog shows it as running but nothing ever gets updated on the cloudflare side. It still just shows 8.8.8.8. Any thoughts? I am about to pull my hair out lol.

Same problem... only the first script i created works with and without cron...

The first script i created works with no problems but the second one doesn't update anything

IT WORKS:
*/1 * * * * /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home.sh
./home.sh

IT DOESN'T WORK (home.sh only works):
*/1 * * * * /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home.sh */1 * * * * /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home2.sh
*/1 * * * * /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home.sh && /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home2.sh
*/1 * * * * /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home.sh && sleep 3 && /bin/bash ~/cloudflare-ddns-updater/scripts/home2.sh
./home2.sh

I figured out my issue. I am running this on a ubuntu server VM on my homelab and not a rpi. Had a friend do a sanity check and he had me remove /bin/bash and try it again. After that it works like a charm. Are you running this on a rpi or a actual linux server?

on a linux server

Try removing /bin/bash from cron and see if that works for you. That's what fixed my issue.
