Cronjob to Run and then Terminate I want to add a cron entry that does something like: 00 00 * * * * /tmp/script.sh Is there something I can add to the end of the line, so that when it is finished, it will remove the line out of my cron? Also, if there is a better way to do it, I would definitely want that information instead.

Cron is used to schedule a job to run repeatedly. What you want is `at`, which schedules a job to run one-time. For your example you can write:


at midnight


This will bring up an interactive prompt where you can enter `/tmp/script.sh` followed by `Ctrl`+`D`.
