Why is cron not running my sh script?

Hi Digital Ocean forum!

I have a script running every minute with crontab. The script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
 
UP=$(pgrep node | wc -l);
 
dt=`date '+%d/%m/%Y_%H:%M:%S'`;
 
if [ "$UP" -lt 1 ];
 
then
 
        pushserver -c /var/www/config.json
 
        echo"$dt Node is down.";
 
else
 
        echo "$dt Node is all good.";
 
fi

So I’m checking if node is running, if it is, it’s all good, if not it starts it. It works when I fire the script by running sh scriptname.sh

So, i’ve put this into my crontab:

* * * * * sh /home/pushCheck.sh& >> /home/pushCheck.log
* * * * * echo ‘Run this command every minute’ >> /home/crontab.log
* * * * * cd /home/ && sh pushCheck.sh>>pushCheck.log

It’s not really working, but the echo to the logfile, is being logged. So crontab should be up and running. I’ve tried the * * * * * sh pushCheck.sh too, but it doesn’t seem to work and I’m out of ideas.

Hope someone can help me out here :-)
