# Create timed `systemd` job
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use systemd to run a bash script at 11am each day, you can create a new
|
||
|
|
systemd service file. Here is an example of what the service file might look
|
||
|
|
like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[Unit]
|
||
|
|
Description=Run My Script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Service]
|
||
|
|
Type=simple
|
||
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/bash /path/to/my_script.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Install]
|
||
|
|
WantedBy=default.target
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Save this file to `/etc/systemd/system/my_script.service`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then you can use systemd to schedule the script to run at 11am each day by
|
||
|
|
creating a new systemd timer file. Here is an example of what the timer file
|
||
|
|
might look like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[Unit]
|
||
|
|
Description=Run My Script Daily at 11am
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Timer]
|
||
|
|
OnCalendar=*-*-* 11:00:00
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Install]
|
||
|
|
WantedBy=timers.target
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Save this file to `/etc/systemd/system/my_script.timer`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then you can enable and start the timer with the following commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl enable my_script.timer
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl start my_script.timer
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will run the script at 11am everyday You can check the status of the timer
|
||
|
|
with the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl status my_script.timer
|
||
|
|
```
