translation: a simple batch file
alben, have u tried playing around with the example tiger gave u?
--------------------
#/bin/bash
while true
do
if <the time is right>
then
<do the task>
fi
sleep 1
done
--------------------u can build upon his example in order to create more complex script files
u can try calling other script files or invoke functions that would execute the tasks for the main script file (and make it run in the background)

I bet...you are a disgruntled administrator, created a script which will cause havoc to the organization's *nix boxes, you want to trigger it on a certain date and time, probably when you are at home or not in the office (perfect alibi), since your boss also has the root account, thus can check cron jobs, you *really* don't want to use cron. ;-)
I'm Just kidding... :-)
cheers, Kenneth

As much as possible I don't want to use cron. I want my script to be self sufficient. I am also interested if such thing is possible.
Do you have some idea on how to do this? Please advice.
thanks

For some reason I just can't use cron.
this works well, you mean for some time this will stop?
Now my new problem arise. How do I run multiple task in a single script with different time interval?
Let's attack this from a different angle. Why do you think you can't use cron?
