Here's the problem.
I have a programme running on my server that generates it own log files. I want to be able to take the data from the log file and insert it into a mysql database. The script needs to run at a set period of time and remove the log file data once the insert is complete, without a user having to do anything.
Is the answer to do this in java then run a cron job to run the script at a specified time.
Has anyone ever done anything like this before or do you know of any script out there.
