Simple Crontab Question

[Laslo7]

Hello All

My question is this:
Can you issue multiple command in a cronjob?
Example:

0 */2 * * * cp /path/to/file1 /path/to/file2
echo date > /path/to/file3
cat /path/to/file1 >>/path/to/file2 >> /path/to/file3

these are just simple examples I thought of.

Sure. Separate them with semicolons, or just put it all in a shell script and call the shell script through crontab.
