So I got the following Cronjob:
*/55 * * * * ruby /Users/Supersize/Desktop/test.rb
what I expect is, that it fires any :55
th minute of an hour. Problem: It does the job, but fires another one 5min
after. That means twice per hour with a delay of 5 minutes.
Any idea on this?
The slash (/
) character is used to specify "every n increments". If you want your trigger fired once an hour at 55 minutes past the hour, your syntax should be:
55 * * * * ruby /Users/Supersize/Desktop/test.rb
