Bash script.

Alternative to CRON

[SinclairUser]

I run my site on a virtual server and do not have acces to cron. Can someone give me a reliable Bash script (one that wont get me into trouble with my hosting co.) that will run and execute perl scripts at a predetermined interval - 30 minutes or so.

I can write a shell script to do this - I want one that will run without getting my knuckles rapped by my hosting service. I.e. acceptable to them...

You have a better idea what's acceptable to your host then we do. :) I think you'd be wise to negotiate with them.

Dave,

You are right. The problem is that they are not very communicative.

I have "discovered" a novel solution that should work okay for now.
