I did think the big bit was going to be dealing with different month
lengths and to be honest I'll probably fudge the numbers and round
down start dates to the 28th avoiding this problem entirely.
I'll go have a look for some cron stuff then unless anybody knows any
good cron resources.
Cron is simple.
"crontab -e" to edit your crontab.
Then, add the job you want; man crontab will tell you the format, but
it's minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, then the command.
So,
0 * * * * /path/to/my/script
...would run your script every hour.
*/5 * * * * /path/to/my/script
... would run your script every five minutes;
0 8 * * * /path/to/my/script
... would run your script at 8am, every day.
