Running Something Every 2 Hours

[Mikenell]

How can I run something every two hours? I would have used cron but you need to specify exact times and I don't want to do that I just want it to run every two hours, is there something I can add to my bash script to do it?
Thanks

Look at cron more carefully it will run commands every two hours or try sleep()

You can make cron run whenever you like. To make something run every 2 hours:

0 */2 * * * /usr/local/bin/foo

You'll want to check the man page for other recipies and there's an NHF on it.
