I have done a small project(or just a shell script). It takes the youtube videos links from a text file, downloads them using youtube-dl. and I have croned this shell script to run from mid night 12am till 8am morning.(I have free downloads at night.) Though this is not a very great project, does it make sense if I add this in resume? (I have around 8 months of experience in IT industry.)
Thanks in advance.

You should touch this in your resume. But NOT HIGHLIGHTED! This will ensure that you have some knowledge in programming.

It might be a special achievement for yourself, but for a company, they want people who had worked in real project with a client. (Up and running system may be) I guess you had written a program. Not a software. That's why i told JUST to mention it to let them to know that you are capable in programming even though you haven't done this in a real project.

I agree that this isn't a great project. I guess this small piece of code says I know shell scripting , awk command, crontabs, etc . this is why I want to add this in resume.

Unless it's a project you can boast about(like a big project for a client, or an open source project with many users) I wouldn't mention the specific project itself in the resume. Instead, try to write the more general categories the project belong to:
- Created shell scripts that interact with web services
- Automated background tasks with cron
I don't know what the role you are trying to apply to is or what the company does, but I can only assume that someone that knows how to automate tasks that interact with web services can be more useful to them than someone who can download videos from youtube.
