crontab -e is not working

I am testing crobtab with a simple script which runs for every minute (pasted the temp.sh below), But it is not working
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * /home/temp/temp.sh
temp.sh
backup_dir=`date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`
echo $backup_dir >> $PWD/temp.txt
Permission details :
-rwxrwxrwx 1 temp temp 73 Mar 14 21:55 temp.sh
-rw-rw-r-- 1 temp temp 100 Mar 14 21:59 temp.txt
NOTE : when I run manually like "/home/temp/temp.sh", It is working and printing the date in temp.txt file
Anyhelp is appreciated. Thanks

The crontab -e file should be:
*/1 * * * * /home/temp/temp.sh
Make sure that temp.sh has execute permission to create temp.txt using chmod +x temp.sh.
Also add shebang and cd to the output diirectory in the temp.sh file
#!/bin/sh
backup_dir=`date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`
cd /home/temp/
echo $backup_dir >> $PWD/temp.txt

Well, the default output directory is the user's home folder, which in your case should be/home/dominic/(guessing from the cron log). So since you are logged in as dominic, the temp.txt file should have been generated in/home/dominic/. Adding the cd just changed the$PWDto this new directory

The above log message tells you that cron is trying to execute the mentioned script in a subdirectory of "dominic"'s home directory every minute using the credentials of user "temp" (note the discrepancy dominic<>temp). This means that there has to be an entry in either "temp"'s crontab or in/etc/crontab.

Also I see the following log in the /var/log/syslog without any error for every one minute Mar 14 22:49:01 Host-Temp CRON[15277]: (temp) CMD (/home/dominic/finalewd/temp.sh) - I don't know the meaning of it

The above log message tells you that cron is trying to execute the mentioned script in a subdirectory of "dominic"'s home directory every minute using the credentials of user "temp" (note the discrepancy dominic<>temp). This means that there has to be an entry in either "temp"'s crontab or in
/etc/crontab.– Markus Ueberall
