crontab for Debian

luoyixin · 05-05-2008, 10:05 AM

I could not figure out the following crontab

"
50 10 * * * /home/mostafa/t
"

t is as "echo "*****************" >> test"

Everytime it will print 10 lines of "*********************" instead of 1 line. Any input?

Thanks.

Try changing the t command to:

echo "*****************" > test

and run the test again. See if you get 1 output line or 10 output lines.
