How to set crontab every week?

[chintansshah]

Can you please tell me how to set crontab on every sunday night.

Create a plain text file with your cron job in. For example:

 

0 0 * * 1 command to be executed

 

You'll then need to use the crontab program to install the cronjob:

 

crontab /path/to/cronjob/file

 

You can then check the cronjob was installed successfully with:

 

crontab -l

[chintansshah]

when I gave a command, it says

 

"bash: 0: command not found"

 

Is it require to install crontab? and how to intall on ubuntu?

Use this to modify the crontab

 

crontab -e

[chintansshah]

it gives below output.

 

no crontab for root - using an empty one

 

Select an editor.  To change later, run 'select-editor'.

  1. /usr/bin/vim.tiny

  2. /bin/ed

  3. /bin/nano        <---- easiest

  4. /usr/bin/vim.basic

So, select an editor to use to edit your crontab file.
