watch -n x your command


will repeat every x seconds. if your command last 10 minutes and you use
watch -n 3600 your command you'll only get 50 minutes between 2 commands. Each command will start exactly one hour after the previous one.



You may use sleep, and a loop, if you want to wait a given amount of time between 2 run. Sleep uses seconds. my example sleeps one hour, 3600 seconds.



while : ; do
your command
sleep 3600
done
