HELP! Need help scripting chron job on Solaris

[skoshi]

I am needing to set up a chron job on a Solaris machine that runs at midnight local time, stores collected data, & clears counters


It needs to collect the output of sho atm counters and send that data to a collection file
send command clear counters atm 5/0 pvc all -no confirm
disable the enable mode
close out of redback
store file with time/date stamp
parce the newly gathered file into xcell.xls spread sheet and mail out the report as an automated function
and build a directory to store data files for x amount of time



I need another chron job that will go in at 06:00 and just clear counters and logout to allow 1st job to collect stats from 06:00am to 23:59pm daily

I'm new to Unix commands and was hoping: Can anyone help?

crontab -e lets you edit cron.

If you want script_a to run at midnight each day, then add this line in the edit:

0 0 * * * script_a

If you want script_b to run at 06:00am each day then add this line:

0 6 * * * script_b
