cron

Edit cronjobs

To edit cron jobs use crontab -e. The syntax is as follows

[Minute] [hour] [Day_of_the_Month] [Month_of_the_Year] [Day_of_the_Week] [command]

So a valid cron job could look like this, runs everyday at 2am

0 2 * * * /bin/sh backup.sh

To run on an interval (in this case every 10 minutes), use

*/10 * * * * /scripts/monitor.sh

List cron jobs

crontab -l
