概述
利用“任务计划”，可以将任何脚本、程序或文档安排在某个最方便的时间运行。通俗的讲就是定时执行某个脚本、程序。
常见用途
定时关机
定时检查更新
定时对系统配置、数据库、日志进行备份
定时清理垃圾文件
检测是否已安装
# crontab-bash: crontab: command not found
执行 crontab 命令如果报 command not found，就表明没有安装.
开始安装
# yum -y install vixie-cronLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, securityExisting lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 25960.Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
可能是系统自动升级正在运行，yum在锁定状态中。
可以通过强制关掉yum进程：
#rm -f /var/run/yum.pid
然后就可以使用yum了。

查看命令帮助
crontab 并不支持-h或 help之类的选项，不过还是可以通过它查看命令帮助
# crontab -hcrontab：无效选项 -- hcrontab: usage error: unrecognized optionusage: crontab [-u user] file crontab [-u user] [ -e | -l | -r ] (default operation is replace, per 1003.2) -e (edit user's crontab) -l (list user's crontab) -r (delete user's crontab) -i (prompt before deleting user's crontab) -s (selinux context)
也可以使用 info crontab 命令查看详细的帮助信息。
cron服务提供crontab命令来设定cron服务的，以下是这个命令的一些参数与说明:
crontab -u //设定某个用户的cron服务，一般root用户在执行这个命令的时候需要此参数
crontab -l //列出某个用户cron服务的详细内容
crontab -r //删除没个用户的cron服务
crontab -e //编辑某个用户的cron服务
比如说root查看自己的cron设置:crontab -u root -l
再例如，root想删除fred的cron设置:crontab -u fred -r
在编辑cron服务时，编辑的内容有一些格式和约定，输入:crontab -u root -e
进入vi编辑模式，编辑的内容一定要符合下面的格式:/1 * * * ls >> /tmp/ls.txt
服务状态控制
/sbin/service crond start //启动服务 /sbin/service crond stop //关闭服务 /sbin/service crond restart //重启服务 /sbin/service crond reload //重新载入配置 /sbin/service crond status //查看状态
或者使用
# service crond start # service crond stop # service crond restart # service crond reload # service crond status
开机启动
你也可以将这个服务在系统启动的时候自动启动:
在/etc/rc.d/rc.local这个脚本的末尾加上:
/sbin/service crond start
现在Cron这个服务已经在进程里面了，我们就可以用这个服务了。
