This is the correct:
@weekly timestamp is similar to “0 0 * * sun“

For Linux the first day is SUNDAY when we have @weekly in crontab.

Nice artical, Thanks a lot

Personal request : Can you provide any guidelines regarding how to write cron job scripts for various occasions like
payment remainders, subscription remainder, birthday wishes, backup activities and block premium users if they fail to follow the rules etc

Thanks

… or that…
00 18 8,9,10,11,12,13,14 * 0 if [ `/opt/Oxya/TestFDM.sh` = “0” ] ; then /etc/rc.d/sybase stop && /sbin/shutdown -r now ; fi

Thansks !

echo “php /kunden/homepages/26/d864146585/htdocs/v-sendy/autoresponders.php” > /script/script.sh
while the php must be installed on your linux system, schedule your cron as below.

* * * * * /script/script.sh
