CronJob¶

env¶

cron or non-interactive shells may have a different environment setup compared to the interactive shell. If a command is not found, it's better to include the command path to the PATH. For example, to run kubectl we should set

export PATH=/usr/local/bin/kubectl:$PATH
export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/.config/.kube/kubeconfig

start cron service¶

sudo service cron status/start

create a cronjob¶

erontab -e and add:

30 12 * * * /home/<user-name>/my.sh >> /mnt/c/dev/my.log 2>&1

run every 5 minutes but start from 0:02 not 0:00¶

#option 1
2-59/5 * * * *
#option 2 (always works)
2,7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57 * * * *
