Hi,
I need to add a cron task that is supposed to run every 10 minutes.
This is the code I was given by the developers of my software:
/usr/bin/wget --delete-after https://mysite.com/starter.php >/dev/null 2>&1
I’m not sure where to go after I log in to my server.
I’d appreciate if someone could give me a step by step instruction.
Thanks
Tom
Hey friend,
Great question! Figure out how frequently you want it to run and use this: https://crontab-generator.org/
When it gives you the full crontab line entry, run “crontab -e” via SSH and paste it at the bottom of the file, save it and you’re set :)

Here’s the command to run to enter the crontab utility where you can copy/paste the cron job:
crontab -u <user> -e
Then paste the command like this:
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/wget --delete-after https://mysite.com/starter.php >/dev/null 2>&1
Save with the editor and that’s it.
