Mario and I are very happy to announce that the Multipage Validator button has been added to the Google Toolbar button gallery. This button works with our Multipage Validator which is a very powerful tool to validate your website’s HTML or xHTML code.

How to Schedule Tasks in crontab

Marc-Antoine Ross April 12th, 2006 Add comment

Another simple post, more a reminder again. First, login to the Unix server through SSH.
Here are a few usefull commands:

crontab -l     list the tasks
crontab -e     edit the tasks
crontab -r     delete the crontab file

To start editing the tasks, you enter in edit mode with crontab -e. It will open your default editor. You can alter scheduled tasks or enter new ones. The format is like that:

* * * * * ~/path_to_script/script.sh

The stars are for minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. A star means all legal values for this column. You can specify a single number, a list of elements separated by commas, a range (ie: 20-30).

The following example will run once an hour at every 30th minute.

30 * * * * ~/path_to_script/script.sh
