This used to be the method that MRTG used on a NT machine. The newer
versions do not do this, so you will have to find older versions with docs
that tell you how to do it. Actually, I remember there being an NT script,
or little Perl program that added all of this for you. I got the following
from this page, http://noc.nol.net/mirrors/mrtg/mrtg.html, which is an
archive of some sort of older versions of the mrtg web site. The current
page is www.mrtg.org.
$interval=300;
while (1) {
sleep( $interval - time() % $interval );
system 'c:\bin\perl c:\mrtg-2.7.4\run\mrtg c:\mrtg-2.7.4\run\mrtg.cfg';
}

Subject: perl sleep
I have been asked to rewrite a ftp process in perl on Win32. The program
will scan a directory
every five minutes and if a file exists, it will ftp the file to a server.
My question is, has any had an experience using the Windows Task Scheduler
to do a every 5
minute process or do you think it would be best to have perl sleep for 5
minutes?
Thanks,
-Scott
