在树莓派上启动期间未找到 Bash 别名

Question

I am trying to get a simple script to run on start-up of debian Raspberry Pi where startupTest.py writes the time of run to a.txt file

$python3 /home/pi/startupTest.py runs successfully in command line

$ python /home/pi/startupTest.py runs successfully in command line

However using $ sudo crontab -e to write @reboot python3 /home/pi/startupTest.py &

Yields

bash: alias: python: not found

bash: alias: /usr/local/bin/python3.8: not found

bash: alias: python: not found

bash: alias: /usr/local/bin/python3.8: not found

bash: alias: python: not found

bash: alias: /usr/local/bin/python3.8: not found

Okay, am I missing python3.8 in that directory? no

$ ls /usr/local/bin shows python3.8

The problems is when running sudo crontab -e actually that root user runs the script. If in your startupTest.py you do not have any special code that might need sudo privilege, just remove sudo and add your command in crontab -e startup list.
