Cron

[newbiepg]

I have no idea about using cron. We have to ensure that a php page would get executed after every 24 hours in redhat linux.

How can I do this?

 

[danandita]

run
#crontab -e
to create scheduled job run under your user privilege.

Thanks Darmawan
I was able to run a program using cron.d

There were also folders marked cron.weekly, cron.daily etc
When I made an entry in cron.d and changed the folder to cron.weekly, after typing crontab -e the same file was shown

Is there any difference in syntax for these separate folders?
What are the difference between them?
