How to run a cronjob every X minutes?

Question

I\'m running a PHP script in a cronjob and I want to send emails every 5 minutes

My current (crontab) cronjob:

10 * * * * /usr/bin/php /mydomain.in/c         


        

Answer 1

You are setting your cron to run on 10th minute in every hour.
To set it to every 5 mins change to */5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /mydomain.in/cronmail.php > /dev/null 2>&1
