Daily Crontab Jobs

Hi @kaustubhk24,

You correctly mentioned crontab. You can configure this as a script to run every day at 11:25pm.

Let’s first start with creatng the script. SSH to your droplet and start executing the following commands

touch ~/updateScript

The above will create the file for you. Now it’s time to edit it.

nano ~/updateScript

Inside of it, you can type in the following

#!/bin/bash

sudo service apache2 restart
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt autoremove -y
sudo reboot

Save the file and exit. Now time to make sure your script is executable

sudo chmod +x ~/updateScript

Now the last bit, add it to your crontab. To do that, type in

crontab -e

WHen the file opens at the bottom of it, add the following line

15 23 * * * bash ~/updateScript

Save the file and exit from it. To make sure you’ve added the cron, type in

crontab -l 

You should see the command you added at the bottom.
