I noticed i have /etc/cron.hourly, daily weekly, and monthly. I want to create another cron folder which will execute the commands every minute, but not sure how..
To rephrase, i have 2 commands i'd like to execute every 1 minute.
My first guess is to create /etc/cron.minute, but i'm not sure what to do next..
Thanks.
Originally posted by keefaz Why run crontab -e as root, you could run your user crontab as well
I suggested this because the commands under /etc/cron.daily (and others) are executed as root. As you said, you can program tasks with any user you want.
