Hi all,
I'm trying to execute a command once a minute. As a test I place this:
0,1 * * * * /bin/ping -c1 w.x.y.z > /dev/null 2>&1
in /etc/cron.d/everyMinute
but nothing is happening. I've done "service crond restart".
Any ideas?
That "0,1" tells cron to run your command at N:00 and N:01 every hour. You want "0-59" instead.
or */1
e.g.
*/1 * * * * /bin/ping -c1 w.x.y.z > /dev/null 2>&1
All the best,
Don't think that does what you want, */5 is every 5th time, but /1 is a NOP, I think. All asterisks should be once a minute.
