Linux配置定时，使用 crontab -e 与 直接编辑 /etc/crontab 的区别

Linux配置定时任务，大家都知道使用crontab这个系统功能，但有时候我们需要区分用户执行，下面就直接说一下2种方法的区别：

方法1：

使用命令 crontab -e 然后直接编辑定时脚本。

这样执行以后，属于用户自定义的，会被写到 /var/spool/cron 目录下，生成一个和用户名一致的文件，文件内容就是我们编辑的定时脚本。

如：

[html]  view plain  copy

1. [root@localhost cron.d]# cd /var/spool/cron  
2. [root@localhost cron]# ll  
3. 总用量 4  
4. -rw-------. 1 root root 52 12月  9 10:58 root  
5. [root@localhost cron]# pwd  
6. /var/spool/cron  
7. [root@localhost cron]# cat root   
8. 30 03 * * * /root/automysqlbackup.sh  

方法2：

使用命令 vi /etc/crontab 编辑定时脚本。

如：

[html]  view plain  copy

1. [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/crontab                                                                                                                                                                        
2. SHELL=/bin/bash                                                                                                                                                                                             
3. PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin                                                                                                                                                                          
4. MAILTO=root                                                                                                                                                                                                 
5. HOME=/

（系统级的）做系统级配置我们会直接配置 /etc/crontab

（用户级的）一般还是建议大家使用 crontab -e ，这样系统也会帮着检查我们配置的脚本语法。
