Crontab

The crontab (cron derives from chronos, Greek for time; tab stands for table) command, found in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, is used to schedule commands to be executed periodically. To see what crontabs are currently running on your system, you can open a terminal and run:

$ sudo crontab -l

To edit the list of cronjobs you can run:

$ sudo crontab -e

This wil open a the default editor (could be vi or pico, if you want you canchange the default editor) to let us manipulate the crontab. If you save and exit the editor, all your cronjobs are saved into crontab.Cronjobs are written in the following format:

* * * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh

Scheduling explained

As you can see there are 5 stars. The stars represent different date parts in the following order:

minute (from 0 to 59)

hour (from 0 to 23)

day of month (from 1 to 31)

month (from 1 to 12)

day of week (from 0 to 6) (0=Sunday)

Neat scheduling tricks

What if you'd want to run something every 10 minutes? Well you could do this:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh

But crontab allows you to do this as well:

*/10 * * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh

Which will do exactly the same. Can you do the the math? ; )
