how to run a bash script in background automatically?

Question

I need to write a bash script that automatically deletes temp files, and runs in the background each day.

#!/bin/bash  
while true;  
do      
    rm  /home/c/temp/*
    sleep 24h
done

but it doesn't work

Answer 1

write a shell script

rm /home/c/temp/*

and add a line in the crontab

crontab -e

add the line

0 12 * * * path/to/script

It will execute you script every day at midday.
