executing script at specific time

[Anon]

help!!!
i want to execute a script at predetermined time and without any action.. (i.e. run the script every day at 1:00 am)....

log into your shell and pop open vi and enter:
01 0 * cd /path/to/script_dir/; ./scriptName

and save as /usr/home/userName/crontab

then type in: crontab -u userName /usr/home/userName/crontab

and every night at 12:01am the script will be executed by the crontab deamon

.bat file
that's all I know about it.
I'm sure your windows manual will have something about auto-execing a .bat

...I used to know, I think in C:\WINDOWS\auto-exec.conf is where you'd go to add that entry, but it's been many moons.

like I said, many moons.
All I can remember are those damned .bat files 🙂
