USER RELATED CRON JOBS


If you want to set up some tasks yourself ( as user ) to run every so many hours/days, here is how to do that:

Make a text file and let's say we call it "test-cron". In the file we will put the following lines:

( Sure you need those sound files in the places indicated above ) See this link for the time settings: Cron Jobs

Then give the command:
 

And from then on, every hour the "Hour.wav" will play and every half hour the "HalfHour.wav" will . . just like grandma's clock
( Your personal cron-settings are then saved in /var/spool/cron/bruno )


Sure you can do this as root as well so it will run independently from whichever user is logged in at that moment
