[SOLVED] Crontab in order after completed

Issue

Is it possible to make crontab run after one's execution. I read that cron jobs start from top, but run parallel, doesn't wait one to finish. Is there any way that I can do like this? For example, let's say I have 3 cron jobs.

• */5 * * * * job1
• */5 * * * * job2
• */5 * * * * job3

I want job2 to run after job1 has completed, and job3 after job2 completed.

Solution

You can have more than one command in a single crontab entry:

*/5 * * * * job1 ; job2 ; job3
