centos 怎么使用crontab

Crontab语法
usage: 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)

其中，file是命令文件的名字。如果在命令行中指定了这个文件，那么执行crontab命令，则将这个文件拷贝到crontabs目录下；如果在命令行中没有制定这个文件，crontab命令将接受标准输入（键盘）上键入的命令，并将他们也存放在crontab目录下。

帮助：
[root@dave ~]# man crontab

NAME
crontab - maintain crontab files for individual users (ISC Cron V4.1)

SYNOPSIS
crontab [-u user] file
crontab [-u user] [-l | -r | -e] [-i] [-s]

DESCRIPTION
Crontab is the program used to install, deinstall or list the tables used to drive the cron(8) daemon in ISC Cron. Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are files in /var/spool/ , they are not intended to be edited directly. For SELinux in mls mode can be even more crontabs - for each range. For more see selinux(8).
If the cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed therein in order to be allowed to use this command. If the cron.allow file does not exist but the cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the cron.deny file in order to use this command. If neither of these files exists, only the super user will be allowed to use this command.

OPTIONS
-u It specifies the name of the user whose crontab is to be tweaked. If this option is not given, crontab examines "your" crontab, i.e., the crontab of the person executing the command. Note that su(8) can confuse crontab and that if you are running inside of su(8) you should always use the -u option for safety¡¯s sake. The first form of this command is used to install a new crontab from some named file or standard input if the pseudo-filename "-" is given.
-l The current crontab will be displayed on standard output.
-r The current crontab will be be removed.
-e This option is used to edit the current crontab using the editor specified by the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables. After you exit from the edi-tor, the modified crontab will be installed automatically.
-i This option modifies the -r option to prompt the user for a ¡¯y/Y¡¯ response before actually removing the crontab.
-s It will append the current SELinux security context string as an MLS_LEVEL setting to the crontab file before editing / replacement occurs - see the documentation of MLS_LEVEL in crontab(5).

SEE ALSO
crontab(5), cron(8)
FILES
/etc/cron.allow
/etc/cron.deny
STANDARDS
The crontab command conforms to IEEE Std1003.2-1992 (¡®¡®POSIX¡¯¡¯). This new command syntax differs from previous versions of Vixie Cron, as well as from the classic
SVR3 syntax.
DIAGNOSTICS
A fairly informative usage message appears if you run it with a bad command line.
