30 15 * * 3 /home/jwelby/ansible/sub-playbooks/patching.yaml These don't match. cron isn't running ansible-playbook. It is trying to run the YAML file itself.

Can you share the output of crontab -l for the user you're creating the cron job for/as, or the contents of /etc/crontab and/or /etc/cron.* ? 3. What's in your cronlog or systemd journal? 4. Obvious question but you do have a vixie cron variant installed and the appropriate services started?

I created a playbook that creates an entry in crontab, which it does successfully, but it does not execute the playbook I specified in job: Thanks!
