I found the best way was to write a shell script, such as
#!/bin/bash /command needed... and save it as a .sh file then using 'chmod +x shellscript.sh' to make the file executable, then in the crontab file (located in /etc) add the line */10 * * * * /usr/local/shellscript.sh the /10 denotes to run the file every ten minutes Vola :-) |
