# Choose your editor (probably nano or vim)Write the cron syntax
Hope you know cron syntax by heart.
# Minute Hour Day Month Weekday Command
# What's "every weekday at 3:30 PM" again?
# 30 15 * * 1-5 /opt/scripts/backup.sh
#
# Or was it:
# 30 15 * * MON-FRI /opt/scripts/backup.sh
#
# Who knows!Get the syntax wrong and it runs at the wrong time. Or never.
Check if it's working
