Cron job not running in Alpine image

Hi Team,
I am using Alpine base image 3.6 to run cron job. Crontab -e can see below entries but in log file there is nothing. Also have added curl package in alpine base image

* * * * * /usr/bin/curl -v http://www.google.com/ >> /var/log/cron/cron.log 2>&1
* * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees >> /var/log/cron/cron.log
* * * * * /bin/date >> /var/log/cron/cron.log
# Leave one blank line below or cron will fail

Can anyone suggest how to check for this ?

Hi,

I might be a bit late but can you check the cron service is running inside your container ?
