linux - crontab schedules and cron jobs

itemprop="text">

I've put two files in the
/etc/cron.d/
directory:




The first makes a new post
everyday at 12:00AM:



0 0 * * * php
/var/www/site1/helper
post:make


The second
updates the latest post every 10
minutes



10 * * * * php
/var/www/site1/helper
post:update



Do
I have to do something else for this job to run based on the time (eg. every 10 minutes)
or do I have to do crontab job1 and crontab
job2
?



EDIT:
I also installed cronie.

Putting
files in cron.d is enough. However, your last entry should
be:



*/10 * * * * php
/var/www/site1/helper
post:update


Otherwise
it runs once an hour, at the 10th minute.
