My understanding is, you put a line into the /etc/crontab file and the system automatically reads that file once per minute.
Now, I want to run a script at, say, 14h30, so I put in my /etc/crontab file:
30 14 * * * root /usr/bin/perl /home/default/scriptname.pl some_argument
Is this correct?
Well, I know it's not correct, because I did that a few minutes ago (different time :-)) and at the appointed time, nothing happened.
