Ouch! That's server murder. ;)
Walking into this conversation a little late I know..
I have scheduled scripts running via the crontab.. which (being a
none unix person) was not that hard to set up.
I have some tasks which run once a day.. I do have another one which
runs every minute.. of every day.. oops.. Yes I can hear you all now
going OUCH! and yes, it must be murder on the server.. but hey, it's
been working a treat now for some months..
It IS however one of those things that I have been meaning to ask
here, and in fact I think I have..
To give you more information the script that runs every minute is
looking for a file, when it sees the file there it does something
with it and removes it. This folder is also watched by a Folder
action, which essentially does the same thing with the file, but
sometimes, if for whatever reason it does not run from the folder
action, it breaks, and then I have to manually remove it anyway.. the
1 minute crontab event has fixed all this... although I do think its
still a little clunky..
Does someone have a better suggestion?
thanks
wayne
