Your question is still not clear. 
 
Here is the answer of your original question: 
<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27039930/Running-scripts-with-Cron.html?anchorAnswerId=35766842#a35766842" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27039930/Running-scripts-with-Cron.html?anchorAnswerId=35766842#a35766842</a> 
 
Your issue is how to make sure if your script run of not. 
 
&gt;&nbsp;When I run it it will show me content of the directory. 
Based on your description of your script, you need to pile the output to a file 
crontab -e 
*/15 * * * * source /home/&lt;user&gt;/.bashrc; /usr/src/script &gt;&nbsp;/tmp/output.log 2&gt;&amp;1 
 
replace &lt;user&gt; for your login name. 
 
1. Change */15 to * so it run every minute for testing 
2. Make sure every commands in your /usr/src/script have full path. 
or add 
export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin 
into /usr/src/script &nbsp;(second line) 
 
 
Check /tmp/output.log 
 
For email notification, you need to put &quot;redirect your output to file&quot; within your /usr/src/script. Not in the crontab -e. 
Then 
crontab -e 
MAILTO=youremail@dmain.com 
*/15 * * * * source /home/&lt;user&gt;/.bashrc; /usr/src/script

Hi 
 
I am practicing with Linux OS (openSUSE11.3) and I would like to get some information how to run script with Cron. For example I have small script under /usr/src directory and it is called script. When I run it it will show me content of the directory. 
 
How would i configure this script for example to run every 15 minutes for example. or for example every day at certain time 
 
I already asked this question but the answer was not there 
 
Ok how do i get mail notification that this script was run 
 
I dont see any confirmation that script is running 
 
Thanks

Running script with cron

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
