1. every minutes
2. every hours
3. every day
4. every month
5. every week
Execute every minute
If you leave the star, or asterisk, it means every. Maybe that's a bit unclear. Let's use the the previous example again:
* * * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh
They are all still asterisks! So this means execute
/bin/execute/this/script.sh:- every minute
- of every hour
- of every day of the month
- of every month
- and every day in the week. (0: Sunday 1: Monday,..6:Saturday)
In short: This script is being executed every minute. Without exception.
Execute all day
So if you want to schedule the script to Monday till Sunday at 12 AM, you would need the following cronjob:
0 0 * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh
