Scheduled Cron Jobs
A Cron job is a combination of a command to run, and a definition of the times at
which to run it. The Scheduled Cron Jobs allows you to create, delete and edit these
jobs.
Figure 27: Webmin Scheduled Cron Jobs
Initially, there will be no scheduled jobs. Follow the “create” link to create one.
Figure 28: Creating a Cron Job
Begin the construction of the job by selecting a “user” to execute as. For most
purposes, “root” will suffice. Enter this user in the Execute cron job as field
Enter the command to execute and any input to the command in the Command field.
Select the times the script is to run from the When to execute table (remember to
check the selected button above any column you edit).
The Active radio button at the top of the menu temporarily disables the job.
After selecting the Create button, the Scheduled Cron Jobs menu will display the job.
