I have a bash script in Ubuntu, I want it to run every 10 minutes for example after it's done. How can I do this? Thanks!

In Bash scripting, a break statement helps provide control inside loop statements. Instead of waiting until the end condition, a break statement helps exit from a loop before the end condition happens.
tiny 4. /bin/ed Choose 1-4 [1]: Make a new line at the bottom of this file and insert the following code. Of course, replace our example script with the command or script you wish to execute, but keep the */5 * * * * part as that is what tells cron to execute our job every 5 minutes. Exit this file and save changes.
You can check watch.
From the man pages of watch the description says watch - execute a program periodically, showing output fullscreen, you can try watch -n 600 my_script.sh which will execute myscript.sh every 600 seconds i.e. 10 minutes. watch shows the output to full screen, you can redirect it to say /dev/null in case you are not interested in the output to the screen.
Hope this helps!

Cronjobs is what you need.

Or you can also use sleep 600 in your script.
