You can run it every ten minutes with an entry like this: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/home/user1/script.sh If you want it to start running every ten minutes at a given time you'll need to do something like setting up an earlier cron entry that adds the above line to the crontab at the appropriate time.
