Hi, I need someone to tell me step by step on how to setup a cron job.

Thanks

I haven't had a need to do this, but you might want to check any files in cron.daily already, for examples.

It's very easy to set up cron jobs. Just place your shell or perl scripts in the corresponding directory:

/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.half-daily
/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.quarter-hourly
...

If you want to set up a cron job not periodically, you have to edit or creat another file ( see crontab.master for an example)

Post your cron job you want to set up and maybe we can guide you.

I know about those. I need to create a special cron

write the cron job in pico or vi whichever you prefer save it (such as cronjob) and then type

crontab cronjob

cronjob done :)
