Run script every 15 seconds on server

Nikumba · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:03

Hi,

Need some help from the OCUK Linux guru's

I have a server at the moment that is running a job every 15 seconds to parse some log files for a web status page.

I have managed to get the page working on the new server, and if I run the script manually it works on the new server, but I do not know how to get it to run every 15 seconds on server startup.

Any help please

Thanks

Use the crontab.

Had a look at using cron, but I can not find the job on the old server so no idea who it is being run

Is the system running systemd? If so could be a systemd timer? Run

Code:

systemctl list-timers

to check.

oneliner of the day:
for user in $(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d ":" -f1); do crontab -l -u $user; done

Or

Code:

cat /var/spool/cron/*

Could also be in /etc/cron.*/ or /etc/crontab
