How to setup to run automatically as a cronjobs

Type the command below

[B]Type crontab -e[/B]

After you've type the following command below copy & paste the line below this will run the scan.sh at 1AM every day including weekdays.

0 1 * * * /home/server_scan/scan.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

After you've setup the cronjobs don't forget to save

You can run this script manual by running the following command below

[B]sh /home/server_scan/scan.sh[/B]

This script will email the results to your email address you've listed in scan.sh

Once you've finshed I would recommended you to run the script manual first since updatedb command does take alongtime.

That's a good script .
Why not add this to the beginning of the script:
email_address=your_email@email.com

Now wherever you wanna add the email , just say $email_address instead of having to type it everywhere .

That's all well and good, run updatedb on a real production servers and you'll kill them, unless they are mostly empty. We have it disabled on our fleet at work. Run that on servers that have around 1 TB each and locatedb will take a few hours to run and drive the load through the roof.

Made some modifications and added!

I think this will help me to minimize abuse on my server. Thank you for the info.
