Cronjob every minute

php mysql cron

28,308

Solution 1

In case you'd set it up in a crontab, this works:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://example.com/cron.php

Solution 2

The PHP interpreter.

/[path-to-php]/php -f [your-php-script]

Solution 3

Steps your shell

$ crontab -e


* * * * * php -f /path/to/cron.php
~
~

Solution 4

I got confused for the first time where to add all of these and finally found.

Type the following in the linux/ubuntu terminal

 crontab -e

select an editor (sometime it asks for the editor) and this to run for every minute

*       *       *       *       *       /usr/bin/php path/to/cron.php &> /dev/null

I have a file in mysite.com/url1/url2/cronjob.php which has to be run every minute. I try every combination, but can't succeed. What should I run in command line? Thank you.

Out of curiosity, is there a difference between * and */1 ?

@jasonbar The manual says cron(8) examines cron entries once every minute. So no. There's no difference.

@Ish So do I. Most "cronjobs" that are PHP based (like with Wordpress), don't work in CLI mode, though.

@hey Are you using the command, @Ish suggested in his answer?

@Linus Kleen: no, I run your query

@hey Make sure, you only edit the crontab, using crontab -e. Also make sure, each line ends with a newline.

Don't edit the crontab file in windows, either - the windows newlines can screw it up an it will cause errors. Edit directly on your system.

@hey I am sorry. That makes no sense at all. Are we talking about a Unix shell?

Ah thats true, my intention was to write \1, I think that is correct syntax? Asterix will do the same though. Sorry about that :)
