Help with shell script

[bcaa8ra]

I am very new to linux, I am trying to write some monitoring scripts and email results.

So far I have this script written:
#!/bin/bash
df -h > /tmp/mail_report.log
free -m >> /tmp/mail_report.log
df -i >> /tmp/mail_report.log
mail -s “disk and RAM report” bernie@makoweb.com < /tmp/mail_report.log


My 2 questions are..
#1 - where would I put this script?
#2 - how would I schedule a cron job to run the script daily?

Thanks for any help provided!

Before using your script do:

PHP Code:

chmod +x script_name.sh 


#1 - where would I put this script?
in any place one example will be /opt
#2 - how would I schedule a cron job to run the script daily?
crontab -e # to edit
insert a new line:
0 0 * * * /opt/file_to run

and save.


To see what is running:

tail -f /var/log/cron


or copy file into those directories:

/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly
