How do I get a script to run every ten minutes?

[Lubbers, Nicholas]

This is the proper way, sorry about my last post. I misread that you
wanted it EVERY 10 minutes continuously.

Use cron.  You can create a user specifc crontab file with
crontab -e

A simple crontab line which will do what you want is:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * some_command_with_arguments

or

*/10 * * * * some_command_with_arguments
