    How to create a script for putty

    Hi,
    I would basically like to create a script which would automatically run "df -k" in putty.
    I would like this to run automatically at certain times of the day.
    How can I do this please?
    Once it is run, I would like the output to be sent via email.
    Thanks!
    Sorry if this isn't the right page that I am posting in but i am new at this!

    Hello and Welcome!

    What you're looking for is a cron job.
    Take a look here for a quick reference: Crontab – Quick Reference

    Here's one that's a little more detailed: Newbie: Intro to cron
