+## Cronjobs
+
+### ope-notebook-culler
+
+This cronjob runs once every 24 hours at 7am, shutting down all notebooks from the rhods-notebooks namespace. To add resources to the rhods-notebooks namespace:
+
+NOTE: PVCs persist this shutdown process.
+
+1. Ensure you are logged in to your OpenShift account via the CLI and you have access to rhods-notebooks namespace.
+2. Switch to rhods-notebooks namespace:
+```
+	oc project rhods-notebooks
+```
+
+3. From cronjobs/notebook-culler/ directory run:
+```
+	oc apply -k .
+```
+
+	This will deploy all the necessary resources for the cronjob to run on the specified schedule.
+
+Alternatively, to run the script immediately: 
+
+1. Ensure you followed the steps above
+2. Verify the cronjob nb-culler exists
+```
+	oc get cronjob nb-culler
+```
+
+3. Run:
+```
+	kubectl create -n rhods-notebooks job --from=cronjob/nb-culler nb-culler
+```
+
+	This will trigger the cronjob to spawn a job manually.
+
