Re: run a perl script automatically every 24 hours

in reply to run a perl script automatically every 24 hours

On a Linux system, you want man 5 crontab
On a Windows sytem, you want the Task Scheduler (which is available via the Control Panel, I believe).

thanks for the input.Is there anyway to run the script itself automatically every 24 hours i mean not using task scheduler (i am on windows)

[McDarren]

Why wouldn't you use the Task Scheduler?

You could always do something like:

while (1) {
    # your script goes here.
    sleep 86400;
}

But that would be a bit silly.
Use the Task Scheduler - that's what it is for.

Or, you could look at Cron for Windows.
Or maybe CronW, which appears to be a Perl implementation of the same.

Dude - spend 1 minute Googling. It doesn't bite ;)
