Hi all,

I'm trying to execute a command once a minute.  As a test I place this:

0,1 * * * * /bin/ping -c1 w.x.y.z > /dev/null 2>&1

in /etc/cron.d/everyMinute

but nothing is happening.  I've done "service crond restart".

Any ideas?

That "0,1" tells cron to run your command at N:00 and N:01 every hour. You
want "0-59" instead.

or */1

e.g.

	*/1 * * * * /bin/ping -c1 w.x.y.z > /dev/null 2>&1

All the best,

Don't think that does what you want, */5 is every 5th time, but /1 is a NOP, I think. All asterisks should be once a minute.
