Running cron every 10 minutes

Solution 1:

Your line means runs at 0 minutes every two hours (ie 00:00, 02:00, 04:00, etc).

If you want to run something every 10 minutes :

*/10 * * * *  ceasor    sudo python  /home/ceasor/Desktop/script.py

I took the liberty to correct the wrong path.

FYI, these are the meaning of the values :

         field          allowed values
          -----          --------------
          minute         0-59
          hour           0-23
          day of month   1-31
          month          1-12 (or names, see below)
          day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
          username       any user from the system
          command        the command you want to run

And if you want to run something as root, you should put root instead of ceasor for the username and drop the sudo.

Solution 2:

Run a command every 10 minutes:

*/10 * * * *   ceasor    sudo python  /home/ceasor/script.py

The */10 token will fire the cronjob every 10th minute.

You could also enumerate every minute that you want it to fire off:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * sudo python /home/ceasor/Desktop/script.py

Solution 3:

To run something every ten minutes, I normally put something like the following in my crontab:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * sudo python /home/ceasor/Desktop/script.py

Adjust the 0,10,20,... as you need to hit the minutes of the hour you want.
