Creating a New Cron Job on AWS Linux AMI
By: System Admin 12/13/2012
Cron is a time-based program used explicitly to initiated other programs at particular times on a Linux system. AWS Linux AMI comes with cron pre-installed and configured, like every other modern Linux installation. The base configuration allows for set up of a task that should be run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly as well as any other time period. Quick Job Setup Setting up a job to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly is very quick. These instructions assume you have already setup an AWS instance and have an SSH client (like PuTTY) available.
Log in to your instance via the SSH client. Transfer to the root user. Go to the '/etc' directory
