# 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`
