Running a cron job at 2:30 AM everyday

Question

How to configure a cron job to run every night at 2:30? I know how to make it run at 2, but not 2:30.

Answer 1

An easy way to write cron is to use the online cron generator It will generate the line for you. One thing to note is that if you wish to run it each day (not just weekdays) you need to highlight all the days.
