    15 * * * * curl https://www.dev.prestahop.cybsplugin.com/mps1760/module/mybank/paymentReport
  4. Enter
    Ctrl + X
     to close the editor.
  5. Enter the
    crontab -l
     command to check the scheduled cron job. For example: 
    root@PrestashopQA4:/etc#  crontab -l
    The scheduled cron job should appear on the screen. For example: 
    15 * * * * curl https://www.dev.prestahop.cybsplugin.com/mps1760/module/mybank/paymentReport
