It is a Linux server. Sorry I didn't make it more clear, not only do I not have telnet access, neither do I have command line access. As for the man on crontab, I could not locate that nor is it covered at www.Perl.org. However, there is a nice little tutorial at http://www.superscripts.com/tutorial/crontab.html. (Should have done a web search first before bothering you good people.)

Ron : What is the operating system you R using ? If its Unix then you can use crontab. Do a man on crontab and it can guide you. Let me know.

Can someone point me toward resources on how to conduct a "cron job" in script? I have no access to the server via telnet, so this would have to be script based. I am using the Perl command "sleep $sec" now, but there may be some issues with that. Self perpetuation can be a bad thing for system resources.
