Using Cronjobs (Updated 5Mar2015)
The new location to store your cronjobs is at: cron.cs.dixie.edu
How do I use/create one?
Example:
ssh [CITusername]@cron OR ssh [CITusername]@cron.cs.dixie.edu
Create a cron text file with a line for each job you wish to schedule, in the format: m h d m w command
Load your file into crontab: crontab yourfile.txt
Creating test file (testcron.txt): #do this every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * date >> ~/testCron.log
Load it into cron: crontab testCron.txt
Wait 30 minutes, check testCron.log. If it works it will update your file with a time stamp 3 times.
Remove test crontab so it does not run forever: crontab -r
You may edit your crontab by typing: crontab -e
