Have been hearing all about cronjobs crontab crond cron crom crom crom crom ~~~~~~ everyday, but think is the first time I really look deep into it.



A detail explanation can be found here.


Still, after reading it, I found it kinda not that flexible, at least not to the extend of what I was trying to achieve. Decided to might as well write my own simple cron job.

#!/apps/perl/bin/perl while (1) {    # Do anything you want over here.    # bla bla bla       sleep( 86400);   # Repeat task every day } # while

Yeah. I know it is cheap :P
who cares, so long it gets the job done
;)
