Hello helen, welcome to the monastery. Please take a look at Markup in the Monastery as this will help you to present your problem more clearly. What do you need help with, as there are a lot of problems contained in your post? In the first case to execute any file (sh, perl or others) at set intervals the cron utility is available on unix like systems. The cron man pages are fairly abstract. Try typing man (5) crontab into the terminal emulator to begin with. You need to edit the crontabs so that the file is executed at the times and frequencies, you want, with the shell or program you require. You will need to know about environment variables such as $PATH
