HowTo set cron job every 10 min?

Okee I know I am way over my head in this. but here I go,

I need to set a script to run every ten min. I have searched the forum and think to know that I must edit the

Code:

crontab -e

output.

Code:

30 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/ftp_logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/mail_logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/cleanup.php &> /dev/null
0 4 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.php &> /dev/null
0,30 * * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php &> /dev/null
15 3,15 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/quota_msg.php &> /dev/null
40 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/traffic.php &> /dev/null
05 02 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null
0 4 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/awstats.php &> /dev/null

I think that the first 5 * are there to set the time. I know for instance that the webalizer is run at 4 o'clock. so 0 4 * * * is 4 o'clock.
Maybey * * * 10 * is every ten min?
Can someone explain the time settings so I will be able to run the script for that website.

And is there any way to cheq if the cronjob is exucuted?

TIA DaRKNeSS

 

If you want to know more about crontab http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crontab this is a good article.

 

So if I am reading it corect the following wil result in running every 10 min.
10,20,30,40,50,60 * * * *..................

 

replace 60 with 0, but you can also try */10

 

Okee installed my cronjob. Got no errors so I supose its installed corectly I must wait and see.

BTW I used your's so I have put */10 * * * * path to script.

 

That looks good.
