i have a issue with cronjob
i am on centos 6 64bit without control panel
i know how to create cronjob using
Code: crontab -e
and i make the cron job for each min
Code: 1 * * * * /home/cgi-bin;./warez.pl /dev/null 2&1i have a file name warez.pl and i want to run it each 1 min or each 2 min
my issue is
the commend tht i have is correct ?
as i know i dont need to add cd on the commend that right also do i need to add anything before /home/ ? like perl /home ? Last edited by booker; 19th Dec 2012 at 09:21 PM. you have a small error after cgi-bin...
also make sure you have the directory correct..
1 * * * * /home/cgi-bin/warez.pl /dev/null 2&1
if it still does not work then "tail -f" the cron log to find the error it is creating to fix the issue. Quote: Originally Posted by Loonycgb2

but i guess tht commend still not working bcz i do need to add perl
so its should be
1 * * * * perl /home/cgi-bin/warez.pl /dev/null 2&1
also
tail -f show me
tail: warning: following standard input indefinitely is ineffective perl is needed if the perl module is not automatically parsed.
Also tail -f cannot be used alone it has to be followed by a log file. (tail -f /etc/cron.d/somelogfile.log)
