| Step 2: Set Up a Cron Job | ||
| Set up a cron job to run the keep_alive.sh script every 15 minutes. | ||
| `chmod +x keep_alive.sh` | ||

|
|
||
| Open the Crontab Editor: Open the crontab editor by running the following command: | ||
| Add the Cron Job: Add the following line to the crontab file to schedule the keep_alive.sh script to run every 15 minutes. Replace /path/to/keep_alive.sh with the actual path to your script. | ||
