Crontab

CRONTAB


To access, type "crontab –e" 


Some examples: 

1 * * * * #script.bat #run at one minute past the hour, every day of the week 

*/1 * * * * #script.bat # run every minute, every hour, every day 

0 12,0 * * * #run at 12 and midnight, every day 

* 12 * * * #A common mistake, run every minute between 12 and 13. (60 times a day) 

Ensure that you put full paths because this will be running as route 


Once edited, restart the cron 

sudo service cron restart
