can you afford autosys? you can also just right a process that loops and checks the time then runs things as needed but that is a hacks since it is what cron does

I write the scripts on a windows machine and upload them to the apache Unix server to test and execute them. Do you know of any perl modules that self execute? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:45 AM To: jeff; Beginners Subject: RE: Automatic execute of script If you are using Unix, add your script in /etc/crontab like this. 0 3 * * * root /usr/local/bin/your-script 0 means run at minute 0. 3 means run at 3:00a.m. * means every day Jeff Liu -----Original Message----- From: jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: December 28, 2001 11:41 AM To: Beginners Subject: Automatic execute of script Does anyone know how to get a script to execute at a predefined time without user interaction. I would like to monitor my sys clock and have the perl script execute.
