# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the 'crontab' # command to install the new version when you edit this file # and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, # that none of the other crontabs do. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow usernamecommand */5 09-17 * * 1-5 root cd /opt/dankbot && source env/bin/activate && dankbot .
