Step-by-step guide

1. Option

   • create a file below /omd/sites/mysite/etc/cron.d with your new cronjob, e.g. /omd/sites/mysite/etc/cron.d/myjob


     Code Block
     language bash theme RDark
     # My cronjob */5 * * * * $OMD_ROOT/local/myjob --params >/dev/null 2>&1

     


   • execute 'omd reload crontab' to rebuild this file from/omd/sites/mysite/etc/cron.d/*
     
     

     Code Block
     root@linux:~# omd reload crontab

     
     
     

2. Option
   • The second possibility is to create a systemwide cronjob below /etc/cron.d, e.g. /etc/cron.d/myjob. Note the slightly different syntax: the 6th column (after the time settings) requires the user under which this cronjob is executed. Also, the environment variables $OMD_ROOT and such are not available (unless you set them explicitly in this file):
