Was looking at the job scheduling query and recalled a requirement that I had. It seems in the cron format you cant specify time incrementally i.e. if i want to run sthing every 2 minutes, the only option i have is to enter a command like this:
00,02,04,06,08,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58 * * * * $HOME/file.sh
Is there a better way?
