crontab

What if you need to run some scripts on a specific time? For example, you want to write statistics of your system to a file every day at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Then you need to use the crontab service. There you can write a crontab expression and a script to run. The syntax of expressions is not that simple, for instance: 0 10 * * *. This expression means at 10:00 every day. However, in order not to break your head and be able to write a crontab expression correctly and without problems, there is a website https://crontab.guru/, where you can write a crontab expression and look at their human-readable representation.
