Login via ssh and open the crontab file for your user
$ crontab -e
The following special string should do it
@weekly /path/to/file/
Save the file and exit.
This translates to “0 0 * * 0 /path/to/file” or midnight, every Sunday, the said file (script) will be executed. There will be more information in your crontab if you’d like to change the day of the week.
Hello,
what will be the command if i need to execute any script daily?
thanks in advance
Do you have cPanel? If so there’s a cronjob option at the bottom
No..We don’t have cPanel.
@karthees51 - you may need to place a script in one of the /etc/cron.XXX directories to do a wget or curl command which grabs your specific web page. Look in one of those directories for a sample script to use as your template.
If you don’t know how to setup cronjob, a third party webcron may be a good option for you. easyCron provides a free plan at https://www.easycron.com/user/register/plan/1.
