现阶段大部分Linux发行版都应当内嵌并已经默认开启了全局Crontab守护进程,可以直接编辑crontab文件即可创建定时任务(一般需要2分钟生效):

sudo nano /etc/crontab #个人比较习惯nano,当然你也可以使用vim

进入crontab文件编辑界面,你可以看到,每个计划任务由“分钟/小时/日期/月份/周几/用户名/命令”组成,你所需要做的就是按照示例格式,另起一行输入你所需的计划任务。

我的自用虚拟机crontab配置文件如下:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# Example of job definition:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# |  .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# |  |  .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# |  |  |  .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# |  |  |  |  .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# |  |  |  |  |
