Crontab */1 ???

Hi!

I found this line in the root's crontab:

Who does "*/1" mean???
I have never met this case...

Thx

It is redundant and means "every minute" and is equal to

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/jdumpscan.sh 

Normally you would use something like

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/jdumpscan.sh 

to run the command every 5 minutes.

every minute run the script /usr/local/bin/jdumpscan.sh

Great thanks!

I was thinking something like that, but I didn't understand why they didn't use * * * * *

So I have my answer thanks again guys!

It is the great advantage (!!) for us. There is More Than One Way to Do it technique.. Doing things in the way whichever you like.
