Crontab Example
# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * php -q /path/to/script1.php
*/5 * * * * php -q /path/to/script2.php
*/7 * * * * php -q /path/to/script3.php
2 0 * * * php -q /path/to/script4.php
13 3 7 * * php -q /path/to/script5.phpAbove is probably one of the most complicated crontabs I’ve ended up with.
– Script 1 is being run every minute.
– Script 2 every 5 minutes and 3 every 7 minutes.
– Script 4 runs every day 2 minutes past 12 pm.
– Script 5 runs 13 minutes past 3 am the 7th every month.
Why the odd numbers?
– I like to have as few things being run at exactly the same time as possible.
