1@alex - depends on what kind of loop you like most. Loop with while or if blabla not to recommend. Type with unix-system at good google search words: bash switch case script– dschinn1001Jun 4, 2014 at 5:10

@dschinn1001 yes For example I want to open firefox every ten minute.Just that I do not have knowledge about cron, but I think it will some thing on the bash script, which opens firefox or delete a file every ten minute– Mohammad Reza RezwaniJun 4, 2014 at 5:15
