Crontab for Developer to Rest

As a developer, you need to take care of your health.
Something like Backache, Shoulder pain will catch you if you don’t take care of youself properly.

When I use MacOs, I have TimeOut App to notify me rest every 10 minutes and every 1 hour.

But,

Linux don’t have some app like this.

So we can use crontab and ubuntu notification to nofity us.
