The crontab command shown below will activate the cron tasks automatically on the hour:
0 * * * * wget -O – -q -t 1 https://www.jit.co.in/cron.php
In the above sample, the 0 * * * * represents when the task should happen. The first figure represents minutes – in this case, on the “zero” minute, or top of the hour. (If the number were, say, 10, then the action would take place at 10 minutes past the hour.) The other figures represent, respectively, hour, day, month and day of the week. A * is a wildcard, meaning “every time.”
The rest of the line basically tells the server to “ping” the url https://www.jit.co.in/cron.php.
Here is a diagram of the general crontab syntax, for illustration:
# +—————- minute (0 – 59)
# | +————- hour (0 – 23)
# | | +———- day of month (1 – 31)
# | | | +——- month (1 – 12)
# | | | | +—- day of week (0 – 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
# | | | | | * * * * * command to be executed
