Webmin has a &quot;scheduled cron jobs&quot; that is pretty easy to use.<br />
<br />
I would suggest, though, using this method - <br />
<br />
Crate a &quot;cronfile&quot; or whatever name you wish, to hold your cron job line itemes.<br />
Assuming it's /root/cronfile <br />
<br />
edit your cronfile text file and add the crontab syntax as you normally would using crontab -e<br />
<br />
When done, save the file.<br />
<br />
Flush cron <br />
crontab -r<br />
<br />
Import into cron using <br />
crontab /root/cronfile <br />
<br />
check that it's all there using <br />
crontab -l<br />
<br />
When you want to change, just open your cronfile file, change, save, then flush and re-import.<br />

hi guys, <br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for the feedback. <br />
<br />
To answer the first question, I am basically running a linux amazon ec2 server. We're running Php and Apache on there and want to automate some PHP scripts. So, I'm assuming it can be done using the Webmin? So now I need to find out how to install Webmin on this instance and then run it to get the GUI. <br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

How to add GUI scheduler to do cron jobs on an Amazon Linux server?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
