Re: Cron Setup

Search the forums -- there is plenty of information on this.

Assuming you are running a *nix server - after all, what madman would permit a windows box to be visible to the outside world ;) - try

man crontab

man 5 crontab

(IIRC) from the command line for more information on cron tables.

Re: Cron Setup

My crontabs are pretty basic (on the odd occasion I actually need them)

Notice the full path to both the executable AND the job

 

#+--------------------------------- Minute
#|    +---------------------------- Hour

Thats:

1m - run every minute

5m - run every minutes

15m - run every 15 minutes

1h - run every hour

1d - run every day
