I want to run a command every 10 minutes in crontab on a certain directory [duplicate]
Running a server with Ubuntu 18.04
I am attempting to run this command every 10 minutes in crontab on the directory /var/www/html:
find . -type f -name "*.maintenance" -delete
Is this the correct syntax to accomplish this?
*/10 * * * * /var/www/html find . -type f -name "*.maintenance" -delete
This will do what you want:
*/10 * * * * find /var/www/html -type f -name "*.maintenance" -delete
In the future, you can try creating the cronjob and checking the logs if it doesn't work.
