You may use following command to add a cronjob:

Code: Select all

crontab -e
The cronjob only removes generated links when they have reached their expiration time. If you have set this to 30 minutes, but the cronjob runs every 5 minutes, then generated links get removed after the cronjob has ran 6 times.
