What is the method for setting up scheduled tasks in Linux?

In a Linux system, you can schedule tasks using the crontab command.

1. Open the terminal and type the following command to edit the scheduled task list for the current user:

crontab -e

1. Add scheduled tasks in the editor, one per line, following this format:

* * * * * command

Each asterisk represents a unit of time, in the order of minutes, hours, dates, months, and days of the week, with the command being the action to be executed.

1. Save and exit the editor, the cron job will automatically take effect, and the scheduled tasks will be executed according to the set time period.
2. To view the current user’s list of scheduled tasks, you can use the following command:

crontab -l

1. To remove all scheduled tasks for the current user, you can use the following command:

crontab -r
