gartura · 05-13-2010, 03:00 PM

hellO,
I WANT TO USE THE COMMANT AT TO EXECUTE A SCRIPT ON A SPECIFIC TIME

FOR EXAMPLE :at 12:30pm
BUT THE SCRIPT DOES NOT HAVE TO EXECUTE AT ALL, I DIT IT BUT THE SCRIPT EXECUTES EACH 12:30pm (that'sy problem)

i want to write a script that will execute each two months from a specific time .
for example: from january 12, 2010

the script has to run before march 12,2010

please help me

and now without CAPITAL writing, and clear word choices.

I don't understand what you are asking, and what the problem is exactly. (reading your example, and it's outcome (running at 12:30) indicates it's working?!?) But then again, the program doesn't have to execute?!?

another thing, don't use titles like : urgent for a thread.
use a short description of what your problem is or the topic/application it is about. Furthermore, urgent is a relative term, since for one it might be urgent, for another it is not.

Take a look at cron

but it still keeps on running on the other day at 12:30pm

@gartura
I suggest you make up your mind

vs.

If the first option is what you want, cron, as repo suggested, might be better.

@gartura - I have renamed your thread to make it more descriptive. Please do not use "urgent" as a thread title - it doesn't tell us what problem you are having and, as we are all unpaid volunteers here, no one problem is more urgent than any other.
