Setting up Cron Job

[RealAct]

Hey there everyone,

I need to run a script on my server that runs the following command every hour, at the 30 minutes past the hour mark. This is the command I need to run.

./console pavlovstats:decode

The script is located at:

/domains/stats.domain.net/bin/

So I created a Cron job to run the following command:

 cd domains/stats.domain.net/bin/ && ./console pavlovstats:decode

To run at minute 30 (I believe). Did I set up this correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Yes that might work. Just try it out and see in the logs if it worked. You might need to loose the trailing slash after bin/ but I'm not 100% sure,

Thanks @Richard G, when I type that command on the terminal myself it works, so I guess it should work, but yeah, I'll have to check the logs. Hopefully it does lol.

@Richard G it worked I think. I see it on the syslog.

@RealAct yep, looks good.
I also checked yesterday right after you replied to me, and found the same question with the same solution on linuxquestions.org so I had a good feeling about it.
