Cronjob is running every minute but not at a specific time
The job works if set like this:
*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/test/cron/test.php
And if set to something like:
15 20 * * * /usr/bin/php /home/test/cron/test.php
it's not working.
[root@localhost mail]# uname -or
2.6.18-308.el5 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost mail]# cat /etc/*elease
#CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
redhat-4
I don't know if this going to help but when I do this:
[root@localhost mail]# date
Wed Aug 5 20:54:02 KST 2015
and when an email comes the date is displayed like so:
Wed Aug 5 06:51:01 2015
which is actually one hour behind the time.
The date was showing up EDT instead of KST, so I changed etc/profile but the cron job still wouldn't work.
I'm new to linux and don't really know what info would be useful, so I can provide more on your request.
Hope you can help me.

first read the man page for cron. Because the second option means: at 20.15 of everyday run the job.

I want to run at noon, but since I can't wait one day to test I set to something like 5 minutes in the future. it's correct in this example i was trying to run it at 20:15 KST everyday. Do you have any ideas what maybe the problem ?

Updating /etc/localtime for the system wide time zone setting might fix your problem. I guess KST stands for Korea Standard Time, so you might want to choose /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Seoul for it. You can also run tzselect to know which file in /usr/share/zoneinfo to choose.
$ sudo cp /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.orig # for backup
$ sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Seoul /etc/localtime
$ date
Wed Aug 5 21:50:23 KST 2015
Then restart cron, or reboot your server.
