can anyone help me please......

Thanks in advnace...........

You're going to have to give us more info. What script have you got so far? Refresh in what?

Right now i dont have any script.I want to write this because.. while reading a book online in a web site if i dont reload the page within some amount of time the session expires and i have to relogin again..to avoid that i wanted to write a script that reloads the page for every 5 minutes..hope u got my problem..can u please suggest me the way that i can start this script...

Okay, well firstly it depends on how the web server is setup for session times, and I suppose it depeneds on your web browser. Firefox has a well received macro engine which could help here, Opera, Konqueror et al, I really couldn't say. (Well, looking at Opera, I don't think it does)

I am using firefox browser...how i can reload a web page in firefox through shell scirpt...

Well, there are plenty of 'auto refresh' plugins for firefox out there, but you ought to know; this probably wont make much difference to keeping sessions open. There may be a better way, you know; What exactly are you looking to do?

ReloadEvery:
You could find more. Just search on mozilla firefox addons
