Hello guys, if you are working in Linux or UNIX environment and scheduled any job or script to run at a particular time at everyday like a script to archive log files at midnight or a script to restart your app on Monday morning then you must have come across crontab command in Linux. While there are many solution to schedule jobs in enterprise application like Control M from Bmc Software and AutoSys but the crontab command provides the easiest way to schedule any script in Linux, as you don't need any third party software for scheduling. It's also quite popular, so much so that all the jobs scheduled by crontab is called cron jobs, and that's why I think every developer should know about crontab command and how to use it.
