Need to create a cron job in centoOS5? Here's my quick and dirty.
Applications --> Acessories --> Terminal
You should see terminal window titles, "username@machinename"
Type:
crontab -e
This being your first time, you should just see a bunch of "~" all the way down you screen.
Type:
o
This creates a new entry. Now enter your job info. Format is as follows:
minute hour day month dayofweek command
* * * * * yourPathToFile
example:
1 * * * * wget -O /dev/null www.WOOT.com/helloCrontab.php
plain english: call helloCrontab.php every minute
ref: System_Administration_Gude.pdf pg.275
After you've type out your command, hit esc, then type ZZ to save. If you don;t want to save then type :q!
To view your new job or see what jobs you have scheduled type:
crontab -l
Enjoy
