u can try "googling" for "advance bash-scripting guide" =)
or u can do it the "man" way, although man may often be "unfriendly" =(

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

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.
Maybe you'd get better luck if you'd code it in C rather than the shell?
:D
Shell scripts are not the end to everything, just as most unix tools are. Cron was made specifically for the purpose it currently serves, and only for that purpose. The shell is supposedly used as a mechanism for passing commands to the operating system (whether interactively or automated).
