linux – 如果向crontab添加每10分钟重复一次的命令,第一个作业何时运行?

提问

作为docker容器设置的一部分,以下内容将被注入crontab:

*/10 * * * * /opt/run.sh >> /opt/run_log.log

根据crontab的行为,第一次运行应该什么时候开始? 10分钟的周期应该立即开始,还是10分钟后才能进入crontab.这两种行为都没有发生,所以我试图通过尝试理解预期的行为来更深入地调试它.

最佳答案

这个cron沙箱模拟器给你一个想法:

Mins    Hrs Day Mth DoW
*/10    *   *   *   *

This run time (UTC)     Sat 2016-Jan-23 0653
Forward Schedule    Sat 2016-Jan-23 0700
    Sat 2016-Jan-23 0710
    Sat 2016-Jan-23 0720

它使用语法:

Every nth '0-23/n', ‘*/2‘ would be every other.
*/1‘ is generally acceptable elsewhere, but is flagged here as possibly an unintended entry.

参见例如“Run a cron job with Docker”(Julien Boulay)

Let’s create a new file called “crontab” to describe our job.

* * * * * root echo "Hello world" >> /var/log/cron.log 2>&1
# An empty line is required at the end of this file for a valid cron file.

The following DockerFile describes all the steps to build your image

FROM ubuntu:latest
MAINTAINER docker@ekito.fr

# Add crontab file in the cron directory
ADD crontab /etc/cron.d/hello-cron

# Give execution rights on the cron job
RUN chmod 0644 /etc/cron.d/hello-cron

# Create the log file to be able to run tail
RUN touch /var/log/cron.log

# Run the command on container startup
CMD cron && tail -f /var/log/cron.log

Then you can build the image with

sudo docker build --rm -t ekito/cron-example .

And run it:

sudo docker run -t -i ekito/cron-example

Be patient, wait for 2 minutes and your commandline should display:

Hello world
Hello world

如果您将第一个”替换为’/ 10′,则必须等到下一个0或10或20或……小时.
