We had a task to Create a docker file with ubuntu image

1. Create a print.sh file which has code to print date and time
2. Write a cron file named "hello-cron" which includes the print.sh to run for every 1 min.
3. The docker image should have a CRON job to print date and time every 1 min

We created a print.sh file via vi command and in it given as

```auto
#!/bin/sh -l
time=$(date)
echo "::set-output name=time::$time"

```

After which we had executed -

`chmod +x print.sh`

then tried as -

`* * * * * /home/scrapbook/tutorial`

Not sure where we went wrong, please guide us.
