what is the meaning of *this* crontab setting?
- by aXqd
* */1 * * * sh foo.sh
I found this setting on one production machine.
And foo.sh was executed every one minute.
I am guessing that the original author of this setting wants it to be executed every one hour.
And I cannot find the official meaning of this setting in the crontab man page. Hence please help.
UPDATE:
I extracted these logs from that machine, however I cannot find the law out of them.
