use putty to get to command line.
sudo crontab -e

          • su daemon -s /bin/sh -c “cd /opt/bitnami/apps/suitecrm/htdocs; /opt/bitnami/php/bin/php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1”

in the link above the command includes a $ in front of sudo, but that didn’t work for me - perhaps the $ is the prompt?

Yes, the $ is just the command prompt, you should omit it.

I have a Bitnami install working fine with the exact crontab command that you are using.

Working for me now, too. Thanks. It will be interesting to see if and how scheduled tasks affect usage and billing for AWS.

Some schedulers are set for every minute.
