How to run crontab job every minute on a Linux or Unix-like system

To run a crontab job every minute on a Linux or Unix-like system, you can use the following crontab entry:

refer to:‮al‬utturi.com
* * * * * command_to_run

This crontab entry will run the specified command_to_run every minute. The asterisks (*) indicate that the job should be run every hour, every day of the month, every month, and every day of the week.

To schedule a crontab job, you will need to edit the crontab file for your user account using the crontab -e command. For example:

crontab -e

This will open the crontab file in a text editor. You can then add the crontab entry above to the file and save it. The crontab job will then be scheduled to run every minute.

By using the above crontab entry, you can run a crontab job every minute on a Linux or Unix-like system. It's always a good idea to carefully review the documentation and use the appropriate crontab syntax when scheduling jobs. This will help ensure that your jobs are run correctly and that any problems are detected and addressed.
