crontab -ein your shell. This opens a text editor* * * * * echo "hi". Save the file the text editor just opened for youYour Cron task is now set
PS:
echo "hi"will print “hi” in a void, if you want to see some results, set a task such as* * * * * touch /tmp/foo, and you’ll see the modification date being updated every minute (ls -l /tmp/foo)
