Define "special programs" There's cron, which runs jobs at regular intervals. There's "at" which runs a job at a specified time.
Actually I was looking for a command which will
alow me to run my program when I log out.
I guess I can do that by NOHUP.
Thanks all for your help,
and sorry for being vegue

I don't know whether this is exactly what you want, but I believe the 'su' utility does this by being able to run a command without loggin in as a user, per se. e.g., # su root -c 'ls /root' Password: Desktop bin # Or were you looking for something else?

Take a look at the following man pages: 'man 1 crontab' 'man 5 crontab' 'man at' -- Marc Christensen http://www.mecworks.com http://www.mecworks.com/~marc/resume

Hi Wojciech, Your question is a bit vague, so I will offer solutions for several similar, but more precise questions ;o): Q: How can I run a job at regular intervals, even when I am not logged in, using programs in a standard SuSE install? A: You will need to look at cron for that. do "man cron" and "man crontab" for information on how to setup cron. The crontab is the file [on a per-user basis] that lets cron know when to run the programs in it :o) Q: How can I run a program once, at a specific time when I may not be logged in, using programs in a standard SuSE install? A: Have a look at "at" for that task. "man at" will tell you about it [or man:at in a konqueror window] Q: How can I run a program and log out, still leaving it running whilst using software on the SuSE CD/DVD/FTP? A: I recommend a program called "screen". It is included with SuSE. If I was wanting to run "mutella" in this way, I would use the commandline "screen mutella" [without quotes] and then press and hold "ctrl", press "a" then release "ctrl" and press "d" which detaches the program from your terminal. If I wanted to see what the program was doing next time I logged in, I would use the commandline "screen -r" [reattach] If I have completely got the wrong end of the stick, then please excuse me - I just got a bit confused by the vagueness of the question :o) Take care, Jon
