From what I have read, and wizard generators I have used the following should run the task every day at 2am
* 2 * * * <my task here> However, looking at the logs it has actually fired the task for each minute in the 2am hour, in other words 60 times in total. What am I doing wrong here? Or are these generators just rubbish. Thanks

“At every minute.” Cron job every 1 minute is a commonly used cron schedule. We created Cronitor because cron itself can't alert you if your jobs fail or never start.
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 .
This runs the script every minute of 2am (02:00, 02:01, 02:02 and so on):
* 2 * * * While This runs the script at 02:13am (of each day of each month)
