hi guys!

I have problem with cron
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58,60 * * * * /usr/local/george/update.py

I try this to schedule the script to run every second min forever but it doesn't work

any idea?

thanks in advance
george

this is the output:

$ sudo crontab -u george cronjob
11:54:40 installing file /usr/local/george/cronjob for user george
/usr/local/george/cronjob:1: Error while reading minutes field: skipping line.
11:54:40 george's fcrontab contains no entries : removed.
Modifications will be taken into account right now.

thanks

i think the minute here starts from 0-59 and logically 60 is invalid..

try this..

1-59 * * * * /usr/local/george/update..py

Hi,
Instead of mentioning a full list of values, mention the cron like this
* * * * * /usr/local/george/update..py
and inside the .py script check for the minute and then run it.
(You may need to run it only when it is either even or odd minutes.)

Thanks
Raghuram

thanks!

I just use*/2 and works, it seems to...

when I
ps aux | grep crond

I don't see any deamon

I try sudo crond but "command not found" !!

I use gentoo
