Just wondering what some of the cleaner ways of running crontab jobs are.
Someone here runs a job every 5 minutes with an entry like
"5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60 * * * * job_name" and I know there has
to be a cleaner way. Isn't there a way to use something like 5/0 * * * *
or something to that nature?
