Simulate cron with screen manager
I can't use cron on server. But on the same server i can use screen.
Is there any way (any program) to run something like cron in the screen session? Or any solution for that problem. |
first of all what is it you are attempting to do periodically? how often? and why CAN'T you use cron?
|
I'm not permited i'm only user of this server.
Once a day now. But maybe there will be need to do it often. I know, that i can write a script in bash. But i was wondering that meybe there is way to run something like cron daemon in screen. |
if you have ssh access perhaps you could set up some passwordless authentication such as a private key and simply have a workstation on which you are able to configure cron run a script that logs into the server and remotely executes the task? just a thought, otherwise there is the at command but i think that only executes the command ONCE at a specified time
