Hi,
I have a script that I want to run daily.
script runs on a Unix Sparcstation to which I connect from a PC with a telnet.
now here's the catch : i want it to run automaticall on a daily basis even AFTER I close my telnet
I know that CRON does this. However, there is a weird problem with the script. It works fine when I run it. If I have cron run it, it does not work, because the script runs very complex other scripts that somehow don't work with Cron.
Is there any other way running a script after closing my telnet?
FYI also tried looping it (with a sleep command so that it runs daily)and then running it with NOHUP but the scripts also stops when I exit the telnet.
