Understanding Cron

This is a badass howto I found on how to use cron
cron is a unix utility that allows tasks to be automatically run in the background at regular intervals by the cron daemon.
Crontab (CRON TABle) is a file which contains the schedule of cron entries to be run and at specified times.
Restrictions
____________
You can execute crontab if your name appears in the file
/usr/lib/cron/cron.allow. If that file does not exist, you can use
crontab if your name does not appear in the file
/usr/lib/cron/cron.deny.
If only cron.deny exists and is empty, all users can use crontab. If neither file exists, only the root user can use crontab. The allow/deny files consist of one user name per line.
Commands
__________
export EDITOR=vi ;to specify a editor to open crontab file.
crontab -e Edit your crontab file, or create one if it doesn't already exist.
crontab -l Display your crontab file.
crontab -r Remove your crontab file.
crontab -v Display the last time you edited your crontab file. (This option is only available on a few systems.)
Crontab file
___________
syntax :-
A crontab file has five fields for specifying day , date and time followed by the command to be run at that interval.
* * * * * command to be executed
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (1 - 7) (monday = 1)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)
* Indicates all possible values as in braces for that column.
Example
_______
A line in crontab file like below removes the tmp files from /home/someuser/tmp each day at 6:30 PM.
30 18 * * * rm /home/someuser/tmp/*
Changing the parameter values as below will cause this command to run at different time schedule below :
30 0 1 1,6,12 * -- 00:30 Hrs on 1st of Jan, June & Dec.
0 20 * 10 1-5 --8.00 PM every weekday (Mon-Fri) only in Oct.
0 0 1,10,15 * * -- midnight on 1st ,10th & 15th of month
5,10 0 10 * 1 -- At 12.05,12.10 every Monday & on 10th of every month
Environment
___________
cron invokes the command from the user's HOME directory with the shell, (/usr/bin/sh).
cron supplies a default environment for every shell, defining:
HOME=user's-home-directory
LOGNAME=user's-login-id
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:.
SHELL=/usr/bin/sh
Users who desire to have their .profile executed must explicitly do so
in the crontab entry or in a script called by the entry.
Disable Email
____________
By default cron jobs sends a email to the user account executing the cronjob. If this is not needed put the following command At the end of the cron job line .
>/dev/null 2>&1
Generate log file
________________
To collect the cron execution execution log in a file :
30 18 * * * rm /home/someuser/tmp/* > /home/someuser/cronlogs/clean_tmp_dir.log |
