Ok, now that's just plain ugly. Here, I just wrote you this... [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/cnwt99>cat runfor #!/usr/bin/perl
#runfor usage:runfor seconds commandline
#need it to get the correct value for WNOHANG
use POSIX ":sys_wait_h";
#pull the params
($runtime, @commandline) = @ARGV ;
#assemble the commandline
$commandline = join(' ', @commandline) ;
#save the pid to kill
if( $kidpid = fork() ){
#and let it run
sleep($runtime);
#see if it's still there. the "0" looks for children within this
#process group, in case it's completed and the pid's been re-used...
#it happens, though it might be held as a zombie for us... can't
#count on it, though. - if response<0, it's still running
unless(0 < waitpid(0, WNOHANG)){
#kill it
kill(15, $kidpid) ;
}
exit(0);
}else{
#fork and give it our slot
exec( $commandline );
}

Okay, nice thing. What about
$ echo "killall rsync" | at midnight
Of couse, you can make that a bit more flexible if you've got several
concurrent rsync running (by using their PID and checking it before
killing it to actually be a rsync instance)...
