Just add an “single” option (without quote) in last of the grub configuration after you press E button in keyboard when Grub displays boot option menu.

Example:

How to Reinstall Grub in MBR

1. Boot into your sistem use Grub enabled livecd (ex: RIP). Press C to enter Grub Terminal
Enter this command (please change to your real root partition)

If no error reported, so you’ll succes re-install grub into MBR.

How to Boot Another Linux Instalation

In case you can,t boot it directly from the media, but it has same kernel version, you can boot it imediately use the installed kernel and initrd on your system.

This is only simple mini howto about cron.
Cron is job scheduler for GNU/Linux system, runs on define time by user.

A simple command of cron, for example will look like this:

* * * * * command_or_script_to_execute

The asterixs in the command mean:

• The first asterix: specifies minute
• The second asterix: specifies hour
• The third asterix: specifies day
• The fourth asterix: specifies month
• The fifth asterix: specifies week

So, if you want to run script everyday on 09.30 you will use this command:

30 9 * * * command_or_script_to_execute
