I have deployed a really basic service from github to try out the cron feature. It is supposed to run every 5 minutes and print "Hello World!". I am using the new cron flow with the start command `npm run start` and cron schedule `*/5 * * * *`.

The project is just this: https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/node-cron/tree/main with a different index.ts file:

// src/index.ts
const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
  console.error('Job timed out!');
  process.exit(1); // Exit with an error code
}, 30000); // 30 seconds timeout

console.log('Hello, World!');

clearTimeout(timeout); // Clear the timeout if the job completes in time
process.exit(0); // Exit normally

This does run every 5 minutes but the deployment log output seems to vary each time.

Here are the 3 most common deployment outputs/logs I am seeing:

1) Something similar to expected output where my console log does print:

Sep 23 11:15:20 "container event container died

Sep 23 11:15:20 npm warn config production Use --omit=dev instead.

Sep 23 11:15:20

Sep 23 11:15:20 > cron-service@0.1.0 start

Sep 23 11:15:20 > node dist/index.js

Sep 23 11:15:20

Sep 23 11:15:20 Hello, World!"

2) A log saying the container has died
"container event container died"

3) There is no log/output at all
"No deployment logs. All output sent to stdout will be displayed here"

Perhaps I am missing some configuration or just doing it wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
