You write every 1 minute. – snex Jun 13 '16 at 06:57
The above command is correct @SanyaSnex . The above command will execute every hour like 01:00, 02:00 and so on. If you want to change minutes than you can change 0 with any minute between 0-59. – Ravindra Bhalothia Jul 22 '21 at 09:32

If you know that there are _hundreds_ of dupe targets, why do answer the question instead of flagging it as being duplicate?? – kayess Jun 13 '16 at 07:16
