Since this is more or less a user requirement I'd advocate use of the "watch" command to fire this script as an user and turn it off when you don't need, rather than using a system level cron mechanism. The following will do it for you: $ watch -n $DURATION $EXECPROG &> /dev/null & [Note: DURATION is in seconds. The redirection to /dev/null is needed since watch by default places output of $EXECPROG on the screen] HTH Bish -- : ####[ GNU/Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]####################### Sub : Examining keycodes of keyboard LOST #270 To know the exact scancode or ascii code generated by specific keys on your keyboard, use showkey (from kbd package).
