Cron job failed when uploading the backups to S3 because AWS credentials is only accessible for ubuntu user whereas current cron uses root user to run the job. The solution is to use ubuntu user on AWS related cron job.

To change user for cron job, open /etc/crontab and find this line:

30 4 * * * root ... ngm_reporthub_backup.sh ...
30 16 * * * root ... ngm_reporthub_backup.sh ...

Change to:

30 4 * * * ubuntu ... ngm_reporthub_backup.sh ...
30 16 * * * ubuntu ... ngm_reporthub_backup.sh ...

Make /var/log/cronjob.log writable for ubuntu user.

chmod go+w /var/log/cronjob.log

Timestamp added on cronjob logs. Additional cron job added for archiving /var/log/cronjob.log when it's size exceed 10MB limit.

Crontab file attached as backup because it's not included in git repository.
