Hi!
Why don't you try it? It will work. :-)
You won't see the output of `ls -la` so
you'll have to do it like this:
* * * * * /dir/test.src >/dir/test.out 2>&1
This will redirect the STDOUT and STDERR to /dir/test.out.
Just do `cat /dir/test.out` to view its content.
You don't have to divide the minute field by 1
because */1 = * and it's a good practice to put
the interpreter in /dir/test.scr.
for example:
#!/bin/sh
ls -la
See CRONTAB(5) for more details. Just do
`man 5 crontab`.
