Run script every N minutes

[omnigenous]

Another noob question from me, I'm on Artix if that matters.

I would like to run my custom bash script every 10 minutes right after boot. It's a simple script that runs a command and writes a file with command's output. Couldn't find how to do it all I see is systemd depended, but it's probably me not knowing what to search for.

I already installed cronie package and I know cron tab schedule I want is */10 * * * * but not sure what to do next.

A good start would probably be to read the cronie documentation, man 5 crontab would be enough.

I don't think this is really anything to do with Dinit?

Had to install cronie-dinit and run sudo dinitctl start cronie

Ah right, I guess I didn't what you were asking. You probably want sudo dinitctl enable cronie if you need it to start every time you boot. The manual page is worth reading. The way Artix works generally, if you ever install a package providing a service, you will need to start it yourself (via dinitctl enable or at least dinitctl start).
