脚本函数添加cronjob。检查重复条目，可用表达式* > "

cronjob_creator () {         
# usage: cronjob_creator '<interval>' '<command>'

  if [[ -z $1 ]] ;then
    printf " no interval specified\n"
elif [[ -z $2 ]] ;then
    printf " no command specified\n"
else
    CRONIN="/tmp/cti_tmp"
    crontab -l | grep -vw "$1 $2" > "$CRONIN"
    echo "$1 $2" >> $CRONIN
    crontab "$CRONIN"
    rm $CRONIN
fi
}

测试:

$ ./cronjob_creator.sh '*/10 * * * *' 'echo "this is a test" > export_file'
$ crontab  -l
$ */10 * * * * echo "this is a test" > export_file

下面是一个bash函数，用于向crontab添加命令而不重复

function addtocrontab () {
  local frequency=$1
  local command=$2
  local job="$frequency $command"
  cat <(fgrep -i -v "$command" <(crontab -l)) <(echo "$job") | crontab -
}
addtocrontab "0 0 1 * *" "echo hello"

Bash脚本，用于在没有交互式编辑器的情况下添加cron作业。 下面的代码帮助您使用linux文件添加cronjob。

#!/bin/bash

cron_path=/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

#cron job to run every 10 min.
echo "*/10 * * * * command to be executed" >> $cron_path

#cron job to run every 1 hour.
echo "0 */1 * * * command to be executed" >> $cron_path

一个只在没有找到所需字符串时才编辑crontab的变体:

CMD="/sbin/modprobe fcpci"
JOB="@reboot $CMD"
TMPC="mycron"
grep "$CMD" -q <(crontab -l) || (crontab -l>"$TMPC"; echo "$JOB">>"$TMPC"; crontab "$TMPC")

(2>/dev/null crontab -l ; echo "0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto renew") | crontab -

cat <(crontab -l 2>/dev/null) <(echo "0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto renew") | crontab -

#输出当前crontab

crontab -l > mycron 2>/dev/null

#echo new cron到cron文件中

echo "0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto renew" >> mycron

#安装新的cron文件

crontab mycron

rm mycron
