How about getting the program to write a little text file out containing the time it was last started. Check this date from within the script and if the date is yesterday and the time is > 12:01am then restart.
How often does the script finish it's internal loop (I'm assuming it loops, does some checks, then loops again or performs an action)? How critical is it that the script be restarted at 12:01 exactly? And why does the script need restarting at all? -----Original Message----- From: Yacketta, Ronald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 October 2001 16:44 To: Beginners (E-mail) Subject: date/time Folks, Looking for a little help for taking current time (from time) and finding the time until 1 minute after midnight.
