How to use crontab to run a python script every 10 mins RPi

Question

I was trying to run a python script every 10 minutes however, this didn't seen to work for me. I will run through the steps of what I did below: 1. open crontab - 'crontab -e' 2. start a new line that says '10 * * * * python /home/pi/WeatherPi/production/getInfo.py'. From what I have seen on the internet this should then run the script every 10 mins but it didn't seem to for me.

Thank you in advance for any replies, Jacob

To get crontab to run a task every 10 minutes you could type as follow:

*/10 * * * * /path/to/command

or

*/10 * * * * /path/to/script
