Here is a tutorial to using crons: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-...-or-unix-oses/

I have learnt I think:

Code:

#crontab -e

30 13 * * * /root/runchown.sh

Edited runchown.sh with VI:

Code:

chown -R apache:apache /opstra/repos

I just want to run a script runchown.sh which will provide ownership to repos file under opstra directory.
Is it correct?

That should work. You can always double check with crontab -l. Also might want to add to the top of the /root/runchown.sh #!/bin/bash if thats the shell you are using

Is it like this:

#vi runchown.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
chown -R apache:apache <path to folder>

Code:

[root@In1 ~]# crontab -l
30 13 * * * /root/runchown.sh
[root@In1 ~]#
