Run scripts at a specific time

This is a guide to automatically run scripts at a specific time.

You need to run only one command:

crontab -e

This will open the crontab file in your default editor. There you can add the following line:

1 2 3 4 5 execuatable

1. Minutes (0-59 or *)
2. Hours (0-23 or *)
3. Days (1-31 or *)
4. Month (1-12 or *)
5. Day of the week(1-7 or *)

The executable can be a script or a command. For example:

0 0 * * * /home/user/backup.sh

This will run the script backup.sh every day at midnight.

Remember to make the script executable:

chmod +x /home/user/backup.sh
