Need to execute a curl statement in OCP Cron

Question

I am very new with working on OCP . I have a task to schedule a curl statement via crontab but I'm unable to figure out where to pass the curl statement.

Not sure how to even start. I looked up some examples but do not see anything that matches my requirement

OCP is based on Kubernetes. In Kubernetes you have the CronJob resource, which seems to be what you're looking for for your resource and allows you to run a job on a specific schedule.

As you need to use curl, you can use the curlimage/curl image, which has the curl binary included:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: my-curl-job
spec:
  schedule: "* * * * *"
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: curl-job
            image: curlimages/curl
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            args:
            - "http://your.url.you.want.to.curl"
          restartPolicy: Never
