How about the following in crontab * */18 * * * someuser /usr/local/bin/script > /dev/null This should execute 'script' every 18 hours as user someuser On Wed, 4 Aug 2004 12:22:04 -0500, C Hamel wrote
I need a script to execute every 18 hours w/o having to change the crontab daily, if possible. I have tried sleeping/recalling script but, of course, one has to then kill a bunch of pids for older executions of the same script ...but at least not daily, I don't suppose.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this?
