How about the following in crontab

This should execute 'script' every 18 hours as user someuser
No, that will execute it 60 times between midnight and 1am, and 60 times between 6pm and 7pm each day
What would you recommend?
See my other mail for my recommendation
I'd prefer using cron, if I can.... but if not will have to use 'at' ...though it seems limited by the fact that one cannot specify an 'every 18 hours' time-frame.
Using cron I think you would have to set up several lines. with 18 hour steps, you get a three day cycle, it should be possible to work something out using a couple of lines in crontab. the at method is simpler though
Just when I thought I understood. :-\ <LOL> Like Basil Chupin stated: "I'm not young enough to know everything."
