Run a cron job every minute

Hi,

I would like to run a cron job every minute.
I can find cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monthly in my /etc, but no cron.minutly.

Can I get it? What should I do?

Thanks!
Nathan

crontab -e 
*/1 * * * * echo "job every minute"

Re: Run a cron job every minute

run

crontab -e

. this opens an editor. therein you type :

#min hour day month weekday command
*/1   *    *    *    *     <your command>

dw was faster
