Cron Every 30 seconds??	Can't Post

Hello,

Is there anyway to run a perl script every 20 or 30 seconds?
At the moment i use it every 1 minute- using Cron, but i need to run it even more frequently.

Is there anyway to do this?
Redhat Linux 9
Thanks

Andrew

I'm not sure which version of cron RH9 comes with, but the more common version don't support seconds. However, it isn't too hard to work around if you run a shell script like the following from cron instead of your Perl script...

Code

#!/bin/sh 
 
your_script & 
 
sleep 20 
your_script & 
 
sleep 20  
your_script &

--k.
