[SOLVED] I need to run cronjob every 5 minutes plus offset time

Issue

Currently my cron job is scheduled to every 5 minutes.

*/5 * * * * curl http://localhost/aa_portal/refresh_id.php

currently this schedule is running every 5 minutes

Example : 12.00AM, 12.05AM, 12.10AM, ....

I need to run this Job every 5 minutes by 2 min gap

Example : 12.02AM, 12.07AM, 12.12AM, ....

Can I change this cron job command to full fill this requirement

Solution

Following the KISS principle you could just list the minutes 2,7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57

Example:

2,7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57 * * * * curl http://localhost/aa_portal/refresh_id.php
