Cron Job Help

[greenworld]

If I want to run a script once at a minute is the following line is correct?

 

* * * * *

 

and

 

once at one day

 

0 0 * * *

 

 

thanks

Correct, the first is every minute, the second is at midnight every day.

Once every minute may be too much load on the shared severs

depending on what the script does.

thank you for reply;

I did notice that once in a minute might be too much,

it is for autoresponder, i intend to put it once every 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

 

Thanks

Why don't you get the autoresponder to be triggered by the email (rather than running it as a cron job). Then it would only run when you got an email - rather than every 5 mins. Likely to be much better on server load.

thanks for reply,

actually I don't know about these things, it would be great to get

some instruction on how to do it,

I did follow the instruction of an autoresponder script, that why I did run

cronjob,
