Every time that I am setting up a new job in crontab, I have to go look up the syntax for the parameters for the lines. I can never remember the order of the parameters. So, here they are:
* * * * *
| | | | |
| | | | ---------- day of week (0 - 6) Sunday is day 0
| | | ------------- month (1 - 12)
| | ---------------- day of month (1 - 31)
| ------------------- hour (0 - 23)
----------------------- minute (0 - 59)
An example line would be the following:
30 5 * * 1-5 /etc/run.me
This app would run at 5:30 AM every Mon - Fri
Another example would be the following:
0,15,30,45 * * * * /etc/run2.me
This app would run every 15 minutes all of the time.
