Using crontab
With crontab you can run jobs on a fixed time schedule.
This means that you can e.g. download some data every day.
To start an edit use crontab -l , the info on how that file should look can be found by using man 5 crontab.
Be aware of the following :
The scripts will run on the login node, so do not use a lot of resources. The crontab entry will be wiped upon reboot !
