I think btdownloadcurses need a terminal to execute so the cron cant run it directly. You can try ctorrent. It will work with cron directly. Or if you want btdownloadcurses, then try adding the below line 30 2 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && gnome-terminal -e "btdownloadcurses --max_upload_rate 10 /home/sanal/my.torrent" (all in one line) and if you want to stop btdownloadcurses at 7:30 add another entry 30 7 * * * killall btdownloadcurses ~vimal
