Trying to run Redis over Crontab

[gwbra]

Hi everyone


I need to run at least twice a day this command

redis-cli del Allblocks

I was trying to run over the cron but perhaps does not execute the command, and I do manual works but during the cron does not work. I tried to creat a file.sh and execute them by cron the same thing. Manual works but using the cron not!!

How can I use the cron to execute commands on the redis??
My redis-cli is running daemon


Thanks everyone

In cron, give the full path of redis-cli wherever redis-cli is present/installed.

You can simply just set a cron job to execute this command twice a day.

So at the bottom of your crontab (vim crontab -e), just add these two lines to run your command -  for example, to run twice a day at 2am and again at 2pm.

 0 2 * * * redis-cli del Allblocks

 0 14 * * * redis-cli del Allblocks

Just to test out, run this in a crontab and see how it work.

 * * * * * redis-cli info clients >> ~/clients_info.txt

So no need to write a script. You can run your command directly in your crontab.
