How to schedule a Cron Job to run a script on Ubuntu 16.04

Additionally, you don't have to use "/bin/sh" as you can also use "sh" or "bash" or even "./" for most systems (including Debian/Ubuntu based systems).
For sudo commands, however, it's best to instead place those jobs in the root crontab list (update, upgrade, updatedb, etc).

Thanks, I have a question though... what is the difference with the approach adding the script in `/etc/cron.daily`? I have a task to run a script daily.. but it does not work after I put the script in `/etc/cron.daily` and also removed the extension `.sh`. I can see the script when I run test (run-part --test ...). I am just wondering though... I will try this approach later :)

How can I schedule a job so that each time it runs it takes an argument which can be a date and that date can be used in the script being run ?

Hi great one
