Dedicated Servers : Need Help with a Cron Job

Theplanet is the world’s most popular provider of cheap, fast and best dedicated servers at an affordable price and godddy is the leading domain name registrar for all the domains hosted on these servers.

This dedicated server discussion started by RTCruiser on 12 July 2007

One of my clients is using a program that regularly creates HUGE core files that I have to manually delete before his domain exceeds it’s quota.

I’d like to create a cron job that goes in each night and deletes them but my cronjob skills are such that I’m a little nervous about creating one that deletes files. So I’d like a little help here.

Does this look like the correct format:

30 12 * * * rm /home/[domian]/public_html/cgi-bin/dada/core.*
