Crontab provide a php lib to create crontab file.

```
use Crontab\Crontab;
use Crontab\Job;

$job = new Job();
$job
	->setMinute('*/5')
	->setHour('*')
	->setDayOfMonth('*')
	->setMonth('1,6')
	->setDayOfWeek('*')
	->setCommand('myAmazingCommandToRunPeriodically')
;

$crontab = new Crontab();
$crontab->addJob($job);
$crontab->write();

```

You can render what you have created:

```
echo $crontab->render();

```

And then you can delete a job you don't want anymore:

```
$crontab->removeJob($theJobYouWantToDelete);

```

When you create a Crontab, it will automatically parse your current crontab file and add all present job into your new object.

Explicitely set the constructor argument `$parseExistingCrontab` to false if you do not want to parse the current crontab file.

Resources
---------

[](#resources)

You can run the unit tests with the following command. You need to be in the crontab directory and have phpunit installed on your computer:

```
phpunit -v

```
