On linux do run the following commands:

$ man cron
$ man crontab
$ man 5 crontab

That should get you started with cron on linux...

HTH,

 Hi all,
 can someone point me to a quickstart to the
 following problem?
 
 I'd like the OS to call a Script every (say) 5 minutes, that does some
 time comparisons (like: hey, you ought to see your customer
 in one hour or the like) on some database thingy.
 
 Basically i'm just interested in how to perform a script every
 given amount of time under Windows (2k, XP) and Linux.

 thanks in advance
 Jan
