Cron Tab help
Hi All
I have a requirement to schedule my script through cron tab.
I have 2 scripts to schedule.
Case1:My script should run every day in the server.It should be triggered in every 2 mins interval.i.e suppose i implemented the script now my script should run every 2 mins.How can i redirect the log of my cron job to a output file.When i gave the 1st condition as 02 i think it is referring to 12:02 to start it.
Case2:Another script should also run every day and in every 2 hours interval.
The script should run life long with the specified interval.How can i write such a cron tab job.
