# Power Mode

2. Run the following commands line by line
```
chmod +x /home/your_username/power_mode.sh #giving permission for execution
sudo crontab -u root -e #to add new task on crontab
```
3. Choose your preferred text editor or press enter for the default editor
4. Add the follwing line at the end of the opened file
```
*/5 * * * * /home/your_username/power_mode.sh
```
You can change the number if you want (Given line executes the script every 5 minutes)

```
If you see the cron job task you added on the terminal, you did it!
