[Courses] [Linux commands]: a bit more cron

[Carla Schroder]

Here are some different terms you can use, instead of filling in all those 
time and date fields:

                       minute-hour-day of month-month-day of week           
	      @reboot        run command at reboot
              @yearly         same as 0 0 1 1 *
              @annually     same as @yearly
              @monthly      same as 0 0 1 * *
              @weekly        same as  0 0 * * 0
              @daily            same as 0 0 * * *
              @midnight    same as @daily
              @hourly        same as 0 * * * *
                                                                       
Notice that the annual and monthly commands run on the 1st at midnight, and 
the other commands run at midnight, except @hourly and @reboot.
