Cron usage

[Number8]

Hello,
I'm not very familiar with Cron. I set it up with the following instruction, expecting to have the script run every minutes. But it does not work.

Code: Select all

*/1 * * * * /home/domoticz/scripts/script.sh

The script works fine when launched at the command line level
Owner of the script is pi.

Thank you

Have you tried Google? "Cron once a minute" give me correct answer in first link.

I did Google before posting. I did try without success this entry as well

Code: Select all

* * * * * /home/domoticz/scripts/script.sh

It did not work bercause the script did not have the execution property set

[alfred_j_kwak]

But cron in your first post was also incorrect?
Just want to make sure that when someone else is searching help he/she will get correct information.

indeed, but before posting I had try the one that works. The issue the execution not set

In my opinion */1 is the same as *
Altough there's no purpose of specifying */1 to run every minute as * is the same. */2 on the other hand runs every 2 minutes.

Egregius - you are right in both of your arguments. I have to admit that I have never even tried to use */1 cause * does the trick.
