 ## Automation
 There are many automation methods available to run scripts on a regular basis of a Linux system. The one built into all of them is cron, but if you'd like to utilize something different then the principles are still the same.
 
+To automate the deployment of automation option, you can call it with 2 parameters:
+first interval in minutes to run sync [0-30], 
+then the hour to run backup [0-24] 
+Note: 0 will disable the cron entry.
+
+for example:
+gravity-sync.sh automate 15 23
+
+will sync every 15 minutes and backup at 23:00.
+
 If you prefer to still use cron but modify your settings by hand, using the entry below will cause the entry to run at the top and bottom of every hour (1:00 PM, 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM, etc) but you are free to dial this back or be more agressive if you feel the need.
 
 ```bash
 crontab -e
-*/30 * * * * /bin/bash /home/USER/gravity-sync/gravity-sync.sh > /home/USER/gravity-sync/gravity-sync.cron
+*/15 * * * * /bin/bash /home/USER/gravity-sync/gravity-sync.sh > /home/USER/gravity-sync/gravity-sync.cron
+0 23 * * * /bin/bash /home/USER//gravity-sync/gravity-sync.sh backup >/dev/null 2>&1
