You would do the scheduling with cron. The schedule would look like
0 8-19 * * * /path/to/script
or
0 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 * * * /path/to/script
and the script would look like
#!/bin/sh
./notify.sh --text "ricordati di bere" &&
play /mnt/musica/login.wav &&
zenity --info
--text="<span size="xx-large">Time is $(date +%Hh%M)</span>nnricordati di <b>bere</b>."
--title="drink time"

@Duns If you added the cron job as root, then it's added to root's crontab. You would view root's crontab withsudo crontab -l. However, I just realised that you are trying to use GUI applications, so using cron for this may not be the easiest solution. Cron jobs have no connection to the display and can't generally open dialog boxes or windows.

thanks. It seems work, somehow (maybe not perfectly; btw I dont' use a GUI): at 8:00 I received on my smartphone the notify, when I was not at home; but coming back to home I didn't see the pop-up. So I tried double-click on the script and it works perfectly. I will see at 9:00. Another thing: if I would do from 8:30 to 11:30 and from 15:30 to 18:30, it should possible with cron?
