Question run a command automatically after every 10 mins

Hi friends,

I need to write a script which runs a command (on that particular server only) after every 10 mins, and the contents are also echoed on that very terminal only.
And then I need to compare the last two outputs, and mail if there is any difference in the last two outputs.
Can we set some alerts, say a machine beeps if the last two outputs have some difference.
Thats my total job.

I think I can do the rest part of it,

BUT

first I want to know how can I run a command automatically after every 10 mins, and dislpay its contents on the terminal.

Pls help, I am a newbie still learning.

Thanks in adv.

Regards,
Vikas
