ubuntu下使用crontab

创建crontab任务

参考：https://www.cnblogs.com/Icanflyssj/p/5138851.html

3. crontab常用的几个命令格式

crontab -l //显示用户的crontab文件的内容

crontab -e //编辑用户的crontab文件的内容

crontab -r //删除用户的crontab文件

-------

在第一次使用crontab -e，会要求选择编辑器，我选择是vim.basic

编辑文件，内容如下

root@ubuntu:/var/log# crontab -e
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at  a.m every week with:
#   * *  tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab() and cron()
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
* * * * * /home/xwdreamer/eclipse-workspace/RELEASED_V2_10_20180331/iotkit-embedded/output/release/bin/linkkit-example

其他间隔执行时间设定

每分钟执行      * * * * *
每五分钟执行    */ * * * *
每小时执行       * * * *
每天执行         * * *
每周执行         * *
每月执行          * *
每年执行           *

日志服务

参考：https://blog.csdn.net/ggz631047367/article/details/50185425

ubuntu默认没有开启cron日志记录 
1. 修改rsyslog 
sudo vim /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf 
cron.* /var/log/cron.log #将cron前面的注释符去掉 
2.重启rsyslog 
sudo service rsyslog restart 
3.查看crontab日志 
less /var/log/cron.log

注意：这里必须重启日志服务，重启以后使用less查看可能还没有日志，需要等任务执行以后才能看到日志。

查看cron日志

vim /var/log/cron.log 

在日志中找到

No MTA installed, discarding output 

解决方案：将日志输出到指定文件

*/ * * * * /home/xwdreamer/iotkit/linkkit-example_INV/linkkit-example_INV > linkkit-example_INV_temp.log

完整如下

root@ubuntu:~# crontab -e
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at  a.m every week with:
#   * *  tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab() and cron()
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
*/ * * * * /home/xwdreamer/iotkit/linkkit-example_INV/linkkit-example_INV > linkkit-example_INV_temp.log
*/ * * * * /home/xwdreamer/iotkit/linkkit-example_penguan/linkkit-example_penguan > linkkit-example_penguan_temp.log

最后日志会被输出到当前账户下的目录，比如当前这个文件被输出到/root目录下

root@ubuntu:/home/xwdreamer/iotkit# find / -name linkkit-example_INV_temp.log
find: ‘/run/user//gvfs’: Permission denied
/root/linkkit-example_INV_temp.log
find: ‘/mnt/hgfs’: Protocol error
