I've got a question about the following cronjob.


#At 3:01 our time, run backups
1 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/php

/www/r/rester/htdocs/auto_backup/back_em_up.php

/www/r/rester/htdocs/auto_backup/cron.log 2>&1

#At 3:02 clean up sessions folder
2 0 * * * (find /www/r/rester/htdocs/sessions/ -name 'sess_*' -mtime

+1 -delete)

#this is only for testing a new cronjob, every minute
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php

/www/r/rester/htdocs/phpList_cronjob/process_cronjob.php

/www/r/rester/htdocs/phpList_cronjob/cron.log 2>>&1


The new one doesn't seem to want to run until after 3:01 or 3:02.
Shouldn't the sever just run it every minute?

You have to specify each minute...

I thought the "*" in the minutes position meant to run the script for all minutes, 0.... 59.

Am I wrong?
