[Gllug] RE: [GLUG] Cron revisited

[Cain Hurwitz]

Ok here is what I think:

Create a file called java.script with the following:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /var/run/java.script.lock ]; then
        touch /var/run/java.script.lock
	/usr/local/jre1.3.1_04/bin/java -cp /apps/cf/htdocs/java_scheduler
WinForward >> /apps/cf/htdocs/java_scheduler/WinForward.log
Rm -rf /var/run/java.script.lock

((ignore case I have to use Outlook with word as editor))

Now copy this file to say /tmp

Then edit crontab and add this line:

*/2 * * * * /tmp/java.script

Hi again

Ok, here is the command that I want to run ever two minutes, but I have to
make sure that it completes before it runs again. Can someone please be kind
enough  to show me how I would do this, as I am really baffled here.
Thanks in advance.

1 * * * * /usr/local/jre1.3.1_04/bin/java -cp /apps/cf/htdocs/java_scheduler
WinForward >> /apps/cf/htdocs/java_scheduler/WinForward.log
