I need to run a script every ten minutes on the 0 minute. Is there a
simple way to do this?
Thanks,

Use cron. You can create a user specifc crontab file with
crontab -e
A simple crontab line which will do what you want is:

Use cron for this.
crontab -e
10 * * * * /path/to/script

See
http://www.foogazi.com/2008/04/01/quickzi-how-to-set-cron-to-run-every-5-minutes/
. Just replace the 5 with 10.

This is the proper way, sorry about my last post. I misread that you
wanted it EVERY 10 minutes continuously.

Won't that run every hour on the 10 minutes (e.g. 1:10, 2:10, 3:10),
etc, but not every 10 minutes? It's possible I'm wrong, but I think the
right syntax is:
*/10 * * * * /path/to/script

Thanks everybody for the answer. I know about cron and use it all the
time, just didn't know this syntax was possible.
