The man page for cron is very helpful. Even has examples.

Praven:

In addition to the man pages for 'cron' sell also those for 'at' and for 'crontab'.

Hi,

Check out the cron chapter in Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators (HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i). Go the Ch. 9 - Administering a Workgroup and then to the How To section. From there, select Scheduling a cron Job.

The book is available in both .pdf and .html formats. Get started at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11.0/index.html.
