Cron job not launching automaticaly

Question

I've created a CRON job which I want to launch once a time every day. This cron is sending me an email when it's launching.

See my crontab.xml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Cron:etc/crontab.xsd">
    <group id="default">
        <job name="custom_cronjob" instance="Portail\Cron\Cron\Test" method="execute">
            <!-- every minutes -->
            <!--<schedule>* * * * *</schedule>-->
            <!-- every days -->
            <schedule>0 0 * * *</schedule>
            <config_path>system/config/path</config_path>
        </job>
    </group>
</config>

But I'm not receiving any email.

Do I need to change the schedule ?

When I manually run cron:run group="default" my email is sended.

You might to set the cron on the server to actually trigger this Magento Cron. To see if you have set or not try running crontab -l and to add a new cron or edit try crontab -e. Also please make sure the web user and the cron user are same otherwise there can be permission issue. If the webserver is run by a different user then you can switch user and edit the cron. Also, please keep in mind that if the server cron is not running every minute then please set it to run every minute like * * * * * bin/magento cron:run
