Setting up a cron job on the PZI server
some important ntoes...will flesh this out once I have time
- ssh into pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl.gre.swa.sfeea.sds.as.sdasdad.asdad
- crontab -e to open the editor in nano
- every line goes like so : 'frequency' 'command' (note : command does not need the program/interperter)
- ex : * * * * * /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/script.cgi (the stars is minute hours dayofmonth month dayofweek) would run every minute the script in the url mentioned
- make sure script is executable (chmod a+x script or chmod 755 script)
- to remember : when the crontab runs that it's as if you were at the root of the directories. ex if /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/script.cgi creates a file in the same directory, it will be done in /home/, not /cgi-bin/
