AIX cron jobs format

1 Comment

While you need to let server schedule something you can use built-in conn jobs to complete this requirement easily. Below just a sample cron jobs format explanation.

syntax:

minute hour day_of_month month weekday command
minute 0 through 59
hour 0 through 23
day_of_month 1 through 31
month 1 through 12
weekday 0 through 6 for Sunday through Saturday
command a shell command

sample:

30 * * * * do_every_half_an_hour.sh
* 1 * * * do_at_1am_daily.sh
* * 1 * * do_at_first_day_of_each_month.sh
* * * 1 * do_at_every_jan.sh
* * * * 0 do_at_every_sunday.sh
