Title: How to add a script to cron service
Post by: Simon Vetterli on August 20, 2002, 02:47:16 PM

Hi

I have a script and I like to add it to the cron service. I like that this script is running every night. How I have to do it?

Thanks

Simon

Do a search for cron in the forums. Use All dates in your search and you will find your answer.

I recommend checking out linuxdoc.org as well.  You can get HOWTOs, FAQs, and MAN pages for most common things like setting up a cron job.

Simply copy your script to the /etc/cron.daily directory.

Or use the crontab tool...

Sorry I'm a little bit new? How do I use it?
I don't know it?
