Ive been trying to run a script for emailing myself temperatures and the status of my server periodically.
I have the script, when i run it from the shell im emailed the correct information.
However im having a hard time figuring out how to execute the script as a cron job, all the guides assume that i have some level of understanding of cron and where to save the script etc. however i dont.
I just wondered if there was a laymens guide on how to do this, i save my script as a .sh, however i have no idea where to save it and when i 'add Cron Job' i have no idea what to actually put under the entry 'Command:'
can anyone advise or point me in the direction of a guide where i can learn how to use this function?
many thanks.
