In project I created a script.sh file for my corns that I wanted to run when Terraform provisioning machine, then I put that on remote-exec.

The script.sh contains below code for one crone, for more crones we need another one.

lines2="*/1 * * * * /bin/bash path/to/file/on/machine_mgmt.sh >> path/to/file/on/machine-log.txt" ( crontab -u root -l; echo "$lines2" ) | crontab -u root -
