Hi Nicki, I'm new to CentOS, and came from Slackware servers too. I recently installed 2 servers with CentOS 7 and was unaware of /etc/anacrontab. I saw there was an /etc/crontab file and entered a few executable bash scripts in there. My logs confirm it's up and functional.
/etc/crontab : SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root # For details see man 4 crontabs # Example of job definition: # .---------------- minute (0 - 59) # | .------------- hour (0 - 23) # | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31) # | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... # | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat # | | | | | # * * * * * user-name command to be executed 20 6 * * * root /root/RTCSS 20 12 * * * root /root/RTCSS 20 18 * * * root /root/RTCSS 10 23 * * * root /root/a1-precise On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 11:17 AM, Niki Kovacs <i...@microlinux.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > I just configured SquidAnalyzer, a nifty little network statistics tool > that I'm using mainly in school networks to monitor network usage. > > I want to run the '/usr/bin/squid-analyzer' script once a day.
