Home: General Discussions: General Questions: Every, say, ten minutes

Drew Deleted Jun 28, 2000, 12:41 PM Post #1 of 2 (3428 views) Every, say, ten minutes Can't Post How would you get a perl script to execute every ten minutes? I have heard something about a cron function. I would really rather not use the sleep function for a ten minute sleep.

Before you get your server admin upset, make sure it's okay with them before you run a program so frequently. For more info about cron, check out our "What are crontabs and how do I use them?" article, located at http://tlc.perlarchive.com/0001/04.shtml
