This will describe how to create cron jobs on Fedora Server to run bash scripts (That is scripts ending with .sh)

• First ensure that you have created your script.sh file in a directory, let's say /home/user/script.sh
• Then enter sudo chown user:user script.sh, to change the owner of file to your user
• cd /home/user change directory into your home directory
• Next enter sudo chmod +x script.sh, to give the file executable permission
• Test run the script by entering ./script.sh
• Verify it runs successfully, and that there are no issues
• Next visit crontab.guru, and edit the values to how frequently you want to script to be automatically run
• Next, go back into your terminal, cd, and enter EDITOR="nano" crontab -e
• This will bring up a text file. Enter the value you configured on crontab.guru and then enter location of script:

• 10 2 * * * /home/user/script.sh

• Once your happy with what you've entered, press Ctrl + X,y and Enter to save.
• And with thatm you've successfully set up your crontab on fedora server!
