crontab -e会直接跳转编辑/var/spool/cron/root
对于root用户
直接编辑下方路径中的定时文件
/var/spool/cron/root
* 9 * * * sh test.sh
#!/bin/bash
today=`date -d "next day" +%Y-%m-%d`
echo $today
hive<<EOF
alter table a.b add partition (dt = '$today',area = 'yyy') location '/data-parse/$today';
EOF
crontab不需要额外启动一个进程,配置好定时文件就行了。
