Hi Reader's,
Welcome to FindNerd, today we are going to discuss on set up cron in Ubuntu.

Sometimes, it is needed to set Cron jobs in a web application for sending push notification on a particular action and to send notify message to start any activation on a web application.

So, Basically cron job occur when any define task is performed on a fixed time. It may perform on an hour and 24 hours according to your fixed time.

So firstly to set cron jobs in Ubuntu go to the terminal and type:

$ sudo crontab -e

This command opens your cron configuration file. So now you can define a command to run in every line so the structure will be like below:

minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week command

let's say, if you want to set cron job in a week on Sunday 12:30 then you can follow below command:

30 12 * * 1 /path/to/command

and if you want to set cron on every 30 minutes then follow below command

*/30 * * * * /path/to/command

After this command cron will automatically run on Ubuntu hosting.

 I hope this blog will help you to set cron job on Ubuntu.

Thanks
