--you could run a script a few ways, but, for cron, you
could do something like:

[example]

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * sh /home/shaunn/scripts/reminder

[/example]

--but that seems just as strange as, say, putting a 'sleep' clause in
one of your scripts.  i'm sure there is a way to call a system
command in perl and say:

system ('sleep 300');

--or something like that.

--anyone care to offer a better idea?  i'm sure they're out there ...

If I wanted to schedule a script to run every five minute what would the
syntax be?


Thank you in Advance
