For WSL - Windows users, you need to apply the following command for the crontab command to work. 'service cron status' = to check cron status. 'sudo service cron start' = to run cron service as sudo. 'sudo service cron stop' = to stop cron service as sudo. Optional command.
I just donated. It's a small amount compared to all the knowledge I've gained through your channel. Thank you so much for making all these educational videos available for everyone. It's helping so many people. Thank you.
everytime i need a good explnation on any topic i come and search your channel and bangggg you have it and teach it like a pro. thanks bro for this excellent channel
ever since finding out about this, my life has been made so much easier. no need to remember to run a backup script every day. just put it in crontab and leave it alone.
If I could only upvote this video a thousand times. What a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world and helping us all get better! #LinuxRocks
You explain everything beautifully, not just this video but almost everything. Keep the good work up and keep saving our time by giving us crystal clear explanations
Thanks a LOT Corey. With the help of your explanation I set up a cron job to kill ARDAgent every 3 hours on my old Mac Mini. ARDAgent has a huge memory leak and over time the system becomes unresponsive and eventually crashes. # kill ARDAgent (has a serious memory leak) at minute 30 past every 3rd hour 30 */3 * * * pkill -15 "ARDAgent"
Corey, you’re so awesome that I just signed up on Patreon. Thanks so much for your very articulate videos and keep up the great work. Do you have python Machine Learning videos too ?
Great video, didn't feel like nearly 19 minutes, everything was clear and concise. One thing that was probably worth mentioning though - what if you want to set a cron job for last day of every month? Set the days to *28-31* and of course leave the month as *. Although Corey showed us how to specify a range, last day of month kinda threw me off a bit. It took a few seconds to realise haha I guess I'm just slow.
Hi Corey, excellent tutorial (as all of yours are). You have good pacing and your tutorials are easy to follow. I have a minor correction for you. In the example where you delete the temp folder every Friday, your example deletes at 5m. Not 5pm as you intended. Thanks again for all your order full tutorials.
Great breakdown, but even though my tasks exist, they never execute the command I need to have happen. Even the tmp file doesn't exist when I do the cat /.
Corey you are awesome as always and I always find a tutorial of yours when I don't understand any topics of python. Corey can you please make a video tutorial about the asynchronous programming in python, specially the basics ? Really missing it.
