How Can I test a cronjob? I created one copied to the cron.weekly folder etc.

I just want to test it to make sure it will work.
I tried crontab myfilename (my actual filename) and I just get command not found.
I tried it from the root directory and the etc directory to no avail.

Thanks

I also tried test crontab but the script never run, and I'm not see a file "fcrontab" in /etc as you refer. Could you please recommend me and others about how to configure script to run in crontab. Thank you very much.

I'd like to setup efw to restart every day around 05.00 am. The line as below I did configure for test to see the result but the efw never restart. I added the line as below in the 'crontab'.

# Test Restart every 15 min.
15 * * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now
