Thats a problem. Don't have experience in programming in linux. Don't have any books also. All I have is the scripts in my linux box and the internet which I have difficulty in looking for a good reference. I know how to program in C, pascal but all in windows. A wanted to program in linux from now on so I am learning and asking questions.
If you do know a URL which is a good reference in programming in linux. please do share it with me. thanks On Wednesday 21 July 2004 09:57, Paolo Alexis Falcone wrote: > On Wed, 2004-07-21 at 09:25, alben benavente alteza wrote: > > As much as possible I don't want to use cron.
