The Cron daemon can execute shell scripts at a specified time. In fact, it is the same as the bat file for Job Scheduling in windows.
# Crontab regularly executes commands (this is my main learning)
# At only once
# The batch system is scheduled for batch processing when the attachment is allowed
During system initialization, the cron daemon will check the crontab file and at record files, and immediately send the changes to the cron daemon for execution.

* *** Command to be executed
For example, after a script is created, you must grant the permission to run it when crontab calls shell.
# Chmod 777 ddd. sh generally cannot be granted 777 Permissions
If the scheduled task already exists, you can view it in the/var/spool/cron/crontabs directory.
# Cd/var/spool/cron/crontabs
# Ls
Adm esaadmin root sys uucp
Of course, not every user can use the scheduled task function. Two files are authorized in the AIX task plan.
/Var/adm/cron. deny defines the user that is not allowed
/Var/adm/cron. allow defines the allowed users
If the cron. allow file exists, the crontab command can be used only for users who write their usernames to this file. Of course, if cron. allow exists, the root must be in it.
If both files exist, the crontab command can be executed only by users in the cron. allow file. On the contrary, if neither file exists, only root can execute crontab.
If only the cron. deny file is available, the user that appears in the file cannot execute the command. Other users can execute the crontab command.
Note:
Be careful with some traps
-** 15 **/myshell. sh
You can see what the scheduled task is, that is, the script is continuously executed on the 15th day of every month.
