I know that I can have something run every five minutes in cron with a line like:
*/5 * * * * /my/script What if I don't want it running at 12:00, 12:05, 12:10, but rather at 12:01, 12:06, 12:11, etc? I guess I can do this:
1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * /my/script ...but that's ugly. Is there a more elegant way to do it?

Execute a cron job every 5 Minutes If you specify */5 in the 1st field, it runs every 5 minutes as shown below. Note: In the same way, use */10 for every 10 minutes, */15 for every 15 minutes, */30 for every 30 minutes, etc.
Execute Cron Job After System Reboot. Setup and Run PHP Script As A Cron Job. Run crontab job every minute on a Linux or Unix-like system.
Cron only allows for a minimum of one minute. What you could do is write a shell script with an infinite loop that runs your task, and then sleeps for 5 seconds. That way your task would be run more or less every 5 seconds, depending on how long the task itself takes.
It is a wildcard for every part of the cron schedule expression. So * * * * * means every minute of every hour of every day of every month and every day of the week .
1-56/5 * * * * /my/script This should work on vixiecron, I'm not sure about other implementations.
