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 with sudo 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.

Presuming you use Linux, timeout is the simplest way to do this. 08:00 to 19:00 is 11 hours, so we tell timeout to run the script for 11 hours.

timeout 11h /home/username/script

Start the job with cron at 08:00 (or manually whenever you wish) and have it killed automatically at 19:00 sharp with another cron entry

kill -9 /home/username/script
