How to use a scheduled task in combination of wget and crontab ......
After even tests and practices, this is definitely a good article! Believe me ...... Author: PHPMA Lujiang Youyu ......
Execute crontab-e to edit the task file and add a line in the following format
Minute hour day month week command
For example
0 4 * wget -- spider http://www.google.com
It means running wget at 04:00 every day ......
The following is a good introduction to crontab:
Crontab task format
* *** Task
Task by hour, day, month, and week
1st columns minute 1 ~ 5 9 (0 indicates 0 points)
2nd columns hour 1 ~ 2 3 (0 indicates midnight)
3rd columns daily 1 ~ 3 1
4th columns Month 1 ~ 1 2
5th columns in a week 0 ~ 6 (0 indicates Sunday)
6th columns of commands to run
Some examples:
30 21 ***/apps/bin/cleanup. Sh
The example above indicates that C l e a n u p. s h in the/a p s/B I n directory of 2 1: 3 0 every night.
45 4, 10, 22 **/apps/bin/backup. Sh
The example above indicates the 4: 4 5 running/a p s/B I n directory B A C K u p on the 1, 1, 0, and 2 every month. s h.
10 1 ** 6, 0/bin/find-name "core"-exec RM {}/;
The preceding example indicates that an f I n d command is run at every Saturday and Sunday.
0, 30 18-23 ***/apps/bin/dbcheck. Sh
The preceding example indicates that every day 1 8: 0 0 to 2 3: run between 0 and every 3 0 minutes/a p s/B I n Directory d B C H E C K. s h.
0 23 ** 6/apps/bin/qtrend. Sh
The above example indicates that every Saturday 11: 0 0 p m runs/a p s/B I n directory Q T r e n d. s h
Two ways to implement scheduled tasks
One is to edit a file and load it with crontab
One is to use crontab-E for direct editing.
My own example
Break into a pile of characters into a file every minute
First VI crontab1
# Every minute echo Char to file
1-59 **** echo 'date' "LJ/N">/opt/Lijie/lj.txt
It is best to add comments
In this way, the purpose of the current scheduled task can be clearly defined.
Then crontab crontab1 loads the scheduled task crontab1.
The other is
Crontab-e
# Every minute echo Char to file
1-59 **** echo 'date' "LJ/N">/opt/Lijie/lj.txt
Date is enclosed in single quotes, indicating that if date is a command, it will be executed as a command.
If you use date directly, the output is the string "date", rather than the execution result of the date command.
>>Is appended to the end of the file, and> is directly overwriting the file
If crontab-e cannot be edited
So your environment variables are not configured.
Enter VI/etc/profile
Add
Editor = vi
Export Editor
Crontab-l list all scheduled tasks
To delete a scheduled task
So
Crontab-e
Comment out the corresponding scheduled task statement
For example, to delete the scheduled task that I just defined
# Every minute echo Char to file
1-59 **** echo 'date' "LJ/N">/opt/Lijie/lj.txt
Only
# Every minute echo Char to file
#1-59 **** echo 'date' "LJ/N">/opt/Lijie/lj.txt
If crontab-R is used
Delete all scheduled tasks.
Note:
1. If you use the crontab file to load a scheduled task, the scheduled task will be washed out.
Therefore, if you want to add a scheduled task, you 'd better use crontab-e to add a scheduled task.
Do not use the crontab file.
2. The crontab log file is/var/log/cron.
3. If you use crontab <FILENAME> to set Cron, pay attention to file garbled characters. I encountered a problem. The/var/log/cron log shows Dec 28 11:34:00 target crond [13449]: (hnuc) cmd (/home/hnuc/Shell/t. sh ^ m ~ M is garbled because: I used the cron file edited by editplus, and the carriage return line break symbol in it is dos rather than Linux or UNIX. Here ^ m is actually a DOS line break, which is parsed in Linux.
