CronDaemon for Executing Scheduled
Commands
The Cron daemon will search /etc/crontab for crontab files, which are named after accounts in
/etc/passwd.
Cron wakes up every minute and checks each command to see if it should be run in that minute. When
executing commands, output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO
environment variable in the crontab, if such a user exists).
Modify the file /etc/crontab to set up your scheduled applications. Crontab files have the following format:
mm h dom mon dow user command
minute hour date month week user command
0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 (0 is Sunday)
For example, if you want to launch a program at 8:00 every day.
#minute hour date month week user command
* 8 * * * root /path/to/your/program
The following example demonstrates how to use Cron to update the system time and RTC time every day at
8:00.
1. Write a shell script named fixtime.sh and save it to /home/.
#!/bin/sh
ntpdate time.stdtime.gov.tw
hwclock –w
exit 0
2. Change mode of fixtime.sh
# chmod 755 fixtime.sh
3. Modify /etc/crontab file to run fixtime.sh at 8:00 every day.
Add the following line to the end of crontab:
* 8 * * * root /home/fixtime.sh
