Question

I’m having trouble setting up a cron job.

I have a cron job created at a url like so:

myurl.com/cron

When that link is accessed, it is run.

How do I set it so that it runs automatically, every 10 minutes?

I can’t figure out how to create a cron job. I know that that’s what I need to do, but I can’t figure out how to do it for a ubuntu server.

Answer 1

Login via SSH and in the shell, type the following:

crontab -e

Then, place the following line:

*/10 * * * * /path/to/command

Save the file and that command will be called every 10 minutes.
