Howto create working cronjob?

    Hi there,


    I have got a line what I should insert into cronjob..



    ....

    Code
    1. */15 * * * * php /var/www/virtual/tigyisolutions.hu/xxxx.php


    which cron file should be edited by me to get this work?


    Should I restart apache after edit cronjob file?

    You can add a cronjob with "crontab -e" as root.
    But use for php the full path of the php library (test it with "which php")
    You can add a cronjob to the global crontab (/etc/crontab), too.
    There you are able to add an username which will start your Script.

    Crontab is out of date and shouldn't be edited for own cronjobs.


    Better is to use:
    /etc/cron.d/


    Make a new file:
    vi /etc/cron.d/tigyisolutions.hu


    And add this:
    */15 * * * * vu20XX /usr/bin/php /var/www/virtual/tigyisolutions.hu/xxxx.php


    So the script will run under vu20XX.


    BTW: No need of restarting Apache2 or cron

    This is my crontab. Should it work?

    Hey,


    when you use crontab -e this list has this Syntax:


    MINUTE HOUR DAY MONTH DAYOFWEEK COMMAND


    so you can't write the user in it, because every user has an own crontab list.
    if you run

    Code
    1. crontab -e


    you will run for the current user!


    if you run

    Code
    1. crontab -u v2000 -e


    you run it in this case for user v2000!


    All clear now?


    Kind regards
