How you call your script in console ?

Can you type an example ?

 

I use cron for many script in python and in php.

Below an example with a script in python witch are call with root permission.

sudo crontab -e

put this line..and save

I used the same way but with java. Actually I am using remote server. So I did this all through putty. But I dont get any results. As I tried to run it, it showing me nothing, Even no errors. Whenever I am trying to run the command : corntab -e 

It shows me: 'no crontab for project - using an empty one'

I never did this before so all things are new for me.

If you have anyidea How to do this then plz share it. I will realy appreciate it.

Hello Prial,

Since this is a "Linux in general" type question, you would probably be better served by searching the web for a crontab How-To article. There are many available.  e.g. this. One aspect of cron that's often overlooked is the fact that cron does not inherit the search path your shell uses.
