# Script to shutdown my cloud server on the 15th of the month using cron

## First, install cron

`sudo apt update`

`sudo apt install cron`


## Next enable the cron
`sudo systemctl enable cron`

### Use crontab to run the scripts

I'll be putting a couple of cron jobs on the server to run at specific times.
We can do that with editing the `crontab` file with:

`sudo nano /etc/crontab`

> This only works on Linux systems
