Keep Alive

[alexislalas]

Hello,

How do I do a keep alive? I have the URL that needs to be called for this and it has to be refreshed every 5-6 minutes. How can I achieve it?

Thanks!!!

Well, the canonical way is a cron(8) job. I suppose, though, you could do something with [man]sleep/man.

You mean auto refresh the page? you can use javascript

<script language="JavaScript">
		var d = new Date();
		document.write(d.getTime());  //this will display the time, just for the test of reload
		setTimeout('window.location.reload(true)', 3);
</script>

or html meta tag, make the refresh url to itself.

Use server side php sleep() and then javascript window.location.reload(true); will be ok too. But the browser will show that it is forever downloading.
