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.
* * * * * command to execute
| | | | |

| | | | +--- day of week (0 - 7) 0 to 6 are Sunday to Saturday,

+----------- min (0 - 59)
therefore;
1 * * * *
should be use.
using a </> key is to indicate skip period as in;
*/2
would be every 2 hours.
i do not know what op's
0,1
would do as i have never seen <,> used in any cron commands.
