1. Get your script defined and get it into a proper location on the machine:
touch script.sh
chmod +x script.sh
vi script.sh
Example of script copying files to a user home folders:
#!/bin/bash
cd /folder/test-pckg/
chown dest_user:dest_user filename*
mv filename* /home/dest_user/prod-pckg/
2. Add your script to crontab
crontab -e
30 21 * * * /folder/test-pckg/script.sh
The above runs each day at 21:30 local machine time.
3. Verify if it runs under cron tab logs:
cat /var/log/cron
You should grep for a line like the below:
Jun 20 21:30:01 instance-name CROND[12092]: (root) CMD (/folder/script.sh)
